'Absorbed by Color'

The Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington, N.Y. is hosting "Absorbed by Color: Art in the 20th Century." This show is a tour of color in 20th-century paintings. This display is ambitious, but the "younger sister" of the 2008 Museum of Modern Art's "Color Chart: Reinventing Color, 1950 to Today" exhibition. "Absorbed by Color" is not a collaboration of well known artists and paintings, instead, it leans toward lesser-known and overlooked artists. Artists featured in this display include Joseph Albers, George Biddle (influenced by the famous impressionist, Degas), De Hirsh Margules, James Henry Daugherty's and many more talented artists. The curator decided to arrange this exhibition by color, grouping the reds together, the yellows together, ETC. Some may say that this is a childish way of displaying this show, but it will attract the largest possible audience.        http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/11/nyregion/a-review-of-absorbed-by-color-at-the-heckscher-museum-of-art.html?ref=design
