“The Painter of Modern Life” Exhibition
Anton Kern Gallery
This event has ended.
The Painter of Modern Life brings together works by 21 artists, with the19th century designation of the poet-critic Charles Baudelaire as its mantle, including: Nathaniel Axel, Lisa Beck, Sadie Benning, Sascha Braunig, Alex Brown, Mathew Cerletty, Wayne Gonzales, Joanne Greenbaum, Daniel Hesidence, Mamie Holst, Cannon Hudson, Chip Hughes, Xylor Jane, Robert Janitz, Erik Lindman, Nikholis Planck, David Ratcliff, Nicolas Roggy, Ivan Seal, Richard Tinkler and Stanley Whitney.
The exhibition may be thought to ask, what is modern life? Or rather, what has it become? In what ways do we translate and make sense of the world around us, our sense of place and displacement in the everyday? Manet was a painter of modern life in Baudelaire’s time. On Kawara was a painter of modern life in ours. How do we navigate this not inconsiderable distance
