Kenneth Noland (1924-2010)
By Mark DagleyI’ve followed other artists gratefully and I hope I’ve also followed my own path....sometimes along side other artists. I’ve also been willing to share any help that I could give to any other artist. I love art and I love the life of art and I only wish that the real life of art could affect social change in a good way and that the invasion of commercialism in art and the invasion of entertainment into all areas of our lives hadn’t brought some of the worst features of our culture into the realm of art. —Kenneth Noland “The Bennington Years” symposium, University of Hartford, March, 1988
WHAT BARBARISM IS?
By Robert Hullot-KentorWhat interests us in the thought and writings of T. W. Adorno cannot interest us. Where it touches us most closely in the urgency of the moment, it misses the mark entirely. When it cuts to the quick, nothing is felt. This is easily demonstrated. For wherever we open Adorno’s writings, whichever volume we turn to, the topic is the barbaric and barbarism.
