Henry Taylor at The Whitney, NYC

“For more than thirty years, the Los Angeles–based artist Henry Taylor (b. 1958) has portrayed people from widely different backgrounds—family members, friends, neighbors, celebrities, politicians, and strangers—with a mixture of raw immediacy and tenderness. His improvisational approach to artmaking is hinted at in this exhibition’s title, Henry Taylor: B Side, which refers to the side of a record album that often contains lesser-known, more experimental songs. “

The Whitney Museum, NYC, presents: “Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925–1945”.

“Mexico underwent a radical cultural transformation at the end of its Revolution in 1920. A new relationship between art and the public was established, giving rise to art that spoke directly to the people about social justice and national life… It galvanized artists in the United States who were seeking to break free of European aesthetic domination to create publicly significant and accessible native art.”

The exhibition contains about 200 works by 60 Mexican and American artists, including José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
