Thank you to Alfred MacAdam of the @brooklynrail for his insightful review of our show, published today. He writes: “The human appetite for landscape paintings is apparently infinite, and this show of no fewer than twenty-eight artists in its New York version (there was a second edition in Palm Beach, which like this one was curated by Todd Bradway) emulates that infinity. How easy it would be to get lost in all these painted forests! ... The artists present in the Acquavella show were born in various decades of the twentieth century: the earliest in the twenties, the latest in the eighties, with at least ten from the seventies. These are all established artists, and each interprets the rather rigid rules governing landscape art in their own way. We expect to find vanishing points, meandering paths leading to them, repoussoirs guiding our eyes into the paintings’ depth. We expect to find light arranged vertically, brightest at the top, darkest at the bottom. Many of the artists here respect those criteria; many do not. ... Let’s ascribe a happy ending to this splendid show with Hill Farm Road (2020), another small, 11 by 14, acrylic on paper by Maureen Gallace (b. 1960) This is the landscape of heart’s desire: the winding road running off into infinity, the white house, a happy union of rectangle and triangle: landscape painting as utopia. If only we could live there forever.” For the full review, please see the link in our bio. #UnnaturalNature #Acquavella
