Jen Graves on Jeffry Mitchell<\/b>, a breathtaking  piece of writing, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

J<\/span>effry Mitchell’s art is ejaculatory, in
\nevery good and holy and dirty and wrong sense of the word. We are
\ndiscussing this at church. Actually, we are outside church; we’ve just
\ncome from the pews of St. Ignatius at Seattle University, where we
\nlifted our eyes up to the half-naked, tortured, and dead Christ, and
\nkept quiet. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Seattle could be entering its golden age of art criticism. There are more good writers covering visual art than ever before.<\/p>\n

A psychotic need to deny:<\/b> the Michael Jackson School of Art, here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Beautiful math<\/b> in architecture from Los Angeles County Museum on Fire<\/i>, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Douglas Britt<\/b> on Tilda Swinton, the actress most closely associated with the art world, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The best art<\/b> is meaningless (Bob Dylan: “Walk tall and always carry a light bulb”) here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In what way<\/b> did Margarete Heymann differ from other Bauhaus pioneers? She was a woman unattached to a powerful male. Hence, her invisibility. Story here<\/a>.

Real Clear Arts<\/b><\/i> praises the new Whitney Web site, here.<\/a>

Two Coats of Paint<\/b><\/i> <\/b>rejoices: “In the hierarchy of art, painting has always been at the top of the heap …,” here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jeff Weinstein<\/b> on Our Great-Grandfather’s Butts<\/i>, here<\/a>.

Translinguistic Other<\/i><\/b> salutes artist and art enthusiast Joey Veltkamp, here<\/a>. If every town had a Joey Veltkamp, it would be a (much) better world.

Why is this piece<\/a><\/b> from 2003 in The Guardian so much better than anything Sebastian Smee has written in the Globe? <\/p>\n

Sample:<\/p>\n

Sex has traditionally been the easiest way to distinguish between them:
\nwhere art nouveau had been feminine, art deco, the style that succeeded
\nit, was masculine. Feminine meant curves and organic forms, an orgy of
\nornament; masculine meant straight lines, vitality, speed and
\nstreamlining. When art deco kicked in before the first world war,
\naround 1910, the fine arts were still giddy from the revolutions of
\nfauvism, primitivism and cubism. But it really blossomed in the roaring
\n20s, the age of the flapper: in the collective imagination art deco
\nmeans women smoking, drinking cocktails and dressing like men.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He’s too young to have gone slack. I’d hate to conclude it’s a difference in editors. The Globe is famous for its editors. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
