Paintings + Paperworks

Matthew Langley, Stylus, 2007.

A short item in the City Paper on Matthew Langley: "His paintings draw easy comparisons to a host of latter-day abstract-expressionist titans, from Agnes Martin and Sean Scully. Make no mistake, Langley courts those comparisons—his emphasis on the grid places him squarely within that Lacanian camp that finds the sublime through repetition, variation, and trauma."

And so on. The artist keeps a blog—here he mentions former WPA director, Jock Reynolds. I have heard that Reynolds's name was bandied about for director of the Corcoran after Levy's departure, back when.
