I like these works very much... I am especially struck by the darker works, the browns, the deep reds, the blacks...Cy Twombly may or may not have been serious when he told an interviewer (Nicolas Serota, Rome 2007) that he had been struck by the great room at the Frick "with all those incredible paintings... the secret to great paintings is brown." I am liking the Lasker works that offer the most limited palette, as that helps point up the incredible depth and form...
I was thinking about these recently--they have been so important to me in the course of my own studio work. I'd love to see what new Lasker paintings look like too.

Franz Kline (1910-1962) is often pigeonholed as a "black and white" painter. Above is a selection of work by the Ab-Ex master in which color merges with gesture and at times takes center stage.
The hell with them all. Paint yourself out, through and through, it will come by you alone. You must come to terms with your own work not with any other being. -Eva Hesse detail The Brooklyn Museum is currently showing Eva Hesse Spectres 1960 and some of the images included in this post will be on view.
