Leon Kossoff: Head of Seedo
This pei e in grey and white and red paint is of a face, perhaps an old man. The technique is wonderful—paint layered and applied so thick that it looks like putty or clay. Viewed face on it loses it's dimensionality, but as you move obliquely the contours begin to dominate and you loose the face, as you do if you move to close.
Frank Auerbach executes something similar in EOW's Head on her Pillow III but I think it is less successful.
Raymond Moore produced some interesting composite photographs that play with reality and abstract ideas.
Kenneth Martin: Blue Tangle
This is a simple abstract Piece composed of some spiral forms that invoke the rose embedded in a larger circular 'tangle'. It evokes a response that i assume relates to it's effects on higher visual cortices.
If that begins to be about abstract effects producing visual 'experiences,' then Bridget Riley is all about it. She produces illusory contours onto of other repeated contours and plays with color and line spacing.
In Cataract 3 the effect produces an illusion of motion as you visual system attempts to integrate the information making the image shift and shimmer.
Anthony Caro: Lock
A giant pair of I-beam prices loosely tied together with a few bridging elements. very effective and modern.
Eduardo Palozzi: Mechanik Zero
A bronze man in abstract 'mechanical' form from '58. Feels very much a response to industrial mechanization.
Tony Ray-Jones produced interesting Pop-Art photography.
Calder's Mercury Fountain is amazing...
I really like Miro's textile and bronze works. Especially the found object sculptures and The Ladder of the Escaping Eye.
