Great thoughts from Fairfield Porter and Langdon Quin on how art offers a path toward particularity of experience, in many ways opposed to what technology is bringing about, from The Painting Center<\/a>‘s website for an upcoming show that looks exceptional:<\/p>\n

A long time resident of both Italy and upstate New York, Langdon Quin<\/a> presents landscapes in\u00a0Recent Paintings<\/strong>\u00a0an exhibition at The Painting Center from March 31\u2013April 25, 2015. The paintings were all created between 2010 and 2015. Each represents a synthesis of visual information derived from plein air oil studies, drawings, photographs, memory and invention. These various sources combine skillfully in the seven Italian landscapes on view here. They reveal Quin\u2019s vision of an exhilarating pictorial world of taut and physically felt spatial tensions mediated by the luminous subtleties of color and light that are particular to each motif.<\/p>\n

A decisive moment in Quin\u2019s training as a graduate student at Yale in 1975 occurred on the occasion of a lengthy studio visit by the great painter and art writer Fairfield Porter. This studio visit followed Porter\u2019s seminal public lecture<\/a> at Yale based on his essay \u201cTechnology and Artistic Perception\u201d <\/a>published in the\u00a0American Scholar<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0in 1973. In that talk, Porter articulated what he believed to be the \u201cprovince of painting\u201d in the late 20th<\/sup>\u00a0century. Quin recalls vividly that Porter likened painting to poetry in urging the consideration of \u201cparticularization of experience\u201d as the essential expressive mission of both forms. Porter argued that this particularization stands in opposition to the generalization of experience that technology pushes upon modern culture. Quin\u2019s internalization of Porter\u2019s prescient directive has informed his feelings about picture making ever since. The palpable rapture he feels in front of observable phenomena in nature and the process of its transformation into painting are foremost among the forces that have always guided his artistic efforts.<\/p>\n

In addition to Italian Quattrocento influences and French pre-Impressionist models such as Corot and Courbet, Quin has long admired a range of modernist masters as diverse as Bonnard and Balthus, Matisse and Morandi, or the Americans, Louis Eilshemius and Albert York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
