"In the Galleries"
by Mark Jenkins

"On Paper, In Series"

As its title suggests, “On Paper, In Series” is a selection of prints.  The centerpiece of the five-artist Marsha Mateyka Gallery show is Robert Motherwell’s “Hollow Men”, a 1985 suite of seven small etchings whose strong black forms rival the power of the artist’s vast canvases. There are also three 1976 “Indian Views” by Howard Hodgkin, notable for their contrast of simple forms and diverse textures.

The other items are all one-of-a-kind monoprints, mixing various media.  Robert Kushner’s 1987 “Reclining Woman” is a drypoint on patterned paper, embellished with metallic leaf. Nathan Oliveira’s two earth-toned 1998 works combine printing and painting as they do landscape and abstraction.  The two examples of Mary Frank’s “Equestrian and Standing Nude” series, from 1982, seem photo-based, yet rarefy their juxtaposed images into silhouettes and blacks of mottled color.  Like the work of the other artists, they demonstrate the potential infinity within tiny variations.
