La Ciudad de Mexico: COBRA at the Modern Art Museum

Where do I begin: it's free. It's gorgeous. We do not see enough of this work in the US: the Cobra Group. Here Egil Jacobsen, 1946. A combination of surrealism, expressionism, and pure, sumptuous materiality.  Museum Link

Constant, 1949, free and blissful

Alechinsky: the compositional bifurcations begin

So interesting to see Alechinsky working with rice paper and ink; its overlays and differences with Asian ink painters.

Pierre Alechinsky: paint tossed, flung, marked, loose

Piere Alechinsky's framing devices--such fecund and glossy paintings

Corneille, 1962-the palette!

Karl Appel birds, 1958

Karl Henning-Pedersen, 1948. What a find! I love the touch, the texture, the mid-tone values of these works.

A gorgeous painting by Jacques Doucet, 1964

Zoltan Kemeny, 1949 - such rich texture, layers, much like the landscape in Mexico City.

Where the work went a decade later: 1959

Karel Appel, 1951. The images are so beautiful in real life, how I wish I could convey the glossy, thick paint, the color, the balance.
