The lyrics to Bob Dylan’s searing antiwar anthem “Masters of War” reverberated in my head as I walked through Gaku Tsutaja’s latest exhibition.

Judith Murray is both the curator and the subject of an excellent survey at 447 Space. With eleven paintings and twenty-five graphite drawings created between 1980 and 2025, <em>Paradise Paradox</em> offers an unprecedented opportunity to get to know this consummate New York painter.
