best guess yet imo!
― opeth winfrey (donna rouge), Monday, 24 January 2011 23:54 (thirteen years ago) link
at the very least fruhtrunk was who i think i meant when i said id seen these before. this is making a lot of the same problems for itself even if the resolutions are a little clearer.

hey plax i'm almost convinced this was on an irish textbook cover in the pre-junior cert era. either that or someone i know owns a print

ugh the more i think about it the more i realise this fruhtrunk theory might be clutching at straws, like i was hoping it might be late fruhtrunk that ive never seen and maybe he decided to stretch his legs but the overall design of the painting is definitely off, It feels more like somebody borrowing p heavily from fruhtrunks vocab....

I hate this mystery painting. It haunts my dreams.

1. The design is made out of a rhythmic pattern of vertical lines rendered in geometric, hard-edged style. This is some New York painter that you only see in old catalogues for some small gallery show where clement greenberg was involved somehow in curating that has like William Perehudoff in it or someone.
2. The design has irregular horizontals but regular verticals. The relationship between warp and weft suggests a design that could be spun on a loom or knitted. On the other hand, the surface could be read to be composed of patches of patter (the stripes are arranged into repeating patterns at sharp intervals) These elements of the formal design suggest traditional craft patterns, particularly crafts performed by women. This is by a feminist painter from the early 70s whose earlier work was quilts based on mourning coats made by civil war era widows.
3. Its hard edged but the colours are buzzy tertiaries. sortof reminiscent of commercial art, something that might be on the cover of a collection of contemporary poetry or a be-bop album circa 1968. The artist is a californian painter who was in a group show with lorser feitelson once.
4. The interaction between the consistent verticals and the inconsistent verticals creates a jarring optical effect. Some 60s op-art guy trying to paint himself out of a hole in 1984
5. The fading retro colours. The cool elegant verticals disrupted by the ungainly lopsided horizontals. The cheeky trickyness of the composition in relation to certain modernist cliches. Theres and overly hip reffing of different eras and a detatchedly archival attitude towards abstraction, this is a german painter who used to be part of the dusseldorf post-punk scene in the early eighties.
no im still not sure who this is.

i had a sneaking suspicion it might be ben jones but the colors are a little muted for him

Theres something about the colouring that reminds me of childrens books and prints from the 70s of the kind we had in our house.
