James Kalm occasionally finds himself scurrying through the Downtown art scene, with plenty of potential visits on his schedule, only to be enraptured with an unexpected gem of a show that keeps him stuck at one location till closing time. “Albers and Morandi…” is a museum quality show displaying the subtle similarities and aesthetic contrasts these contemporaries shared. Joseph Albers (1888 - 1976), is a seminal color theorist and educator, who influenced generations of painters, taught at the Bauhaus, Black Mountain College, and headed Yale University's department of design. Giorgio Morandi (1890 - 1964) was a founding member of the Italian movement “Pittura Metafisica” (Metaphysical Painting), who maintained a stylistic approach to his intimate canvases, using a limited number of humble still life objects, and a tonal approach to color. A musical introduction is provided by “Helen”. This program was recorded January 8, 2021. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
