Jane Freilicher: Parts of a World
-
-
Kasmin is delighted to present a new exhibition of work by American painter Jane Freilicher (1924–2014).
Parts of a World comprises some 15 still lifes spanning the artist’s career from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Together, these works illuminate Freilicher’s interior world, tracing her steadfast attention to the intimate domestic subjects that characterize her scenes—flowers, drapery, and New York backdrops—rendered in the artist’s distinctive style of painterly representation. This is the second solo exhibition at Kasmin since the gallery began representing the Estate in 2017, and the first ever to focus on the artist’s still lifes.

"I make no conscious distinction between landscape, still life and figure, although some subjects may be more accessible or attractive at certain times in one’s life. A combination of forms and color in nature will somehow ignite a kind of energy providing the occasion for a painting."

The swift transition from style to style is one of the most remarkable things in Freilicher’s painting. [...] the transitions are so gradual, the differences so close, that her grammar of styles can easily go unnoticed. The viewer imagines he is looking at an “objective” account of trees or a table top without realizing that they have been dismantled and put back together again almost seamlessly.
— John Ashbery, Art in America, May/June 1975 -
