OIL AND WATER

Winslow Homer. Homosassa River, 1904.

A couple art shows of note. The first is Brushed with Light at the Brooklyn Museum. The paintings in this show are mostly American lanscapes from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, and all in watercolor. The show ends January 17th, so tomorrow is the last day to check it out.


Karen Kilimnik. The French Alps, 2007.

The other show is at 303 Gallery in Chelsea. This is a new show from critics' darling Karen Kilimnik. Her work is sketchy, delicate, precious, and fey, but somehow I still really like it. Her new series focuses on landscapes, and the paintings are down with a water soluble oil paint.
