"Freilicher’s paintings gradually summon fugitive emotions that are beyond words. Foremost for me is a slightly melancholy but secretly smiling spirit of acceptance, conveyed with a casual formality that honors painting’s trusty conventions. I am reminded of the title of an O’Hara poem: 'In Memory of My Feelings.'" —Peter Schjeldahl

Jane Freilicher: '50s New York
April 19 – June 9, 2018Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce its debut exhibition of paintings by Jane Freilicher (1924 - 2014), whose estate the gallery now represents. The presentation is the first to focus on Freilicher’s paintings from the 1950s; a body of work that critic Fairfield Porter termed “traditional and radical.” It includes early still lifes, portraits and the studio views that elucidate her characteristically deft balance of interior and exterior. Hailing from the 1950s and painted within various studios in lower Manhattan, the works are evocative of a downtown milieu that has since come to represent the period’s golden age of spirited, improvisational artistic freedom. They articulate Freilicher’s enduring influence: her steadfast observation and intuitive realism are detectable within the work of a number of painters working today.View More
