Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool in Houston, Starts Jan. 30th @ The Contemporary Arts Museum
January 19, 2010 by Torri Carter · 3 Comments
Barkley Hendricks’s stylistic renderings connect the art movements of American realism and post-modernism while touching upon many of the art movements of the 1960s and 1970s—pop art, photorealism, minimalism, even black aesthetic nationalism. Join Hendricks and organizing curator Trevor Schoonmaker, curator of contemporary art at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, for a discussion of the artist’s work. This exhibition is comprised of 57 paintings, including fullfigure portraits and lesserknown early works.
