I just saw Tacita Dean's work at Marian Goodman up through April 29. Half the show is overpainted photographs. The larger ones are interesting: the ancient burial rocks silhouetted using black paint are striking; but the photo texture and paint didn't work for me (I became more interested in the brush strokes than the subject matter). On the other hand, the small paintings, using white gouache to silhouette and other marks on photos of trees, are gorgeous.
I am hoping you might help me with an upcoming art project. To do so, copy, paste and complete the survey below as a comment. There is only one question. The comments will be moderated by me, so I will not post your rankings for general view.
Thanks,
Peter
