Beautiful, Vivid, Self-contained
The Hill Art Foundation is pleased to present Beautiful, Vivid, Self-contained, an exhibition of paintings and sculptures curated by the artist and writer David Salle.
The exhibition includes works drawn from the collection of the Hill Art Foundation and the collection of Tom and Janine Hill, as well as loans from private collections and artists.
Beautiful, Vivid, Self-contained brings together paintings and sculptures by artists working across different eras, mediums, and geographies to explore the nature of affinity between works of art. As Salle asks in the catalogue essay that accompanies the exhibition: 鈥淗ow can works of art be said to 鈥榬ecognize鈥� each other? How do things made decades or centuries apart, things that may look dissimilar on the surface come to have a communality of tone, and of feeling?鈥�
The exhibition poses a further question: What is the relationship between sensibility and style? Put another way, does an 鈥榓esthetic personality鈥� exist, or, can a painting be said to have a nervous system? What is the psychic mapping that undergirds a pictorial attitude, and how can we recognize it?
