James Kalm, as an enthusiastic amateur art historian, is always on the lookout for overlooked and underrecognized painters. Sometimes there’s even an alignment of said artists, which give observers a chance to make interesting comparisons. “Be Your Wonderful Self, the Portraits of Beauford Delaney” at Michael Rosenfeld, and “Alice Neel: The Early Years” at David Zwirner is a delicious opportunity to look at two of America’s most unique talents, and see how their careers and artistic trajectories converged and diverged over, long careers.
Both artists seemed to represent the art world’s version of the “other,” both racially, and sexually, and their stories and production are testament to how they overcame these challenges, not only artistically but socially as well. A musical introduction is provided by SECONDSET. This program was recorded September 30, and October 2, 2021 #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
