Nancy Turner's examination of the painting techniques of five illuminators over the course of a century focuses (literally, and at high magnification) not on the analysis of pigments but on the tiny strokes, scumbling, and washes of color, the varying coarseness of ground pigment, and the ingenious depiction of so elusive a subject as spittle, that made the work of Flemish miniaturists so sought after. The moody scumbling, planar layers, and primarily vertical format of Pierre Soulages's walnut-stain works on paper, a selection of which were exhibited recently at Haim Chanin Fine Arts, signal a strong affinity with the paintings of Mark Rothko. |
