Ralph Humphrey

Ralph Humphrey, Klaus Kertess

description

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held March 3 - March 31, 1990. Includes five color reproductions of Humphrey's paintings, including "Sinclair," "Andersen," "Alma Court," "Endicott," and "Hartcourt," accompanied by an essay on Humphrey entitled "On the Edge," by Klaus Kertess. Kertess calls the artists' recent paintings "constructed and painted geometries [which] become impure, still-life objects of paint, radically tilted forward and momentarily mesmerized by gravity as they hover on and in the shallow relief of their planar containment. Their bristling physicality of edge and surface calls these objects back from the possibility of illusion into the disillusion of their thereness. The contingencies of time, not transcendence, shape and color Humphrey's geometries and draw them reluctantly into beauty. His is an architecture of mortality." The images are followed by a biography of the artist and a bibliography.
