The New "Pure" Painting

November 13, 2017 Larry Barnett

In the mid-to-late 1960s, Kurt was a regular contributor to the magazine Art International. His beat was the Los Angeles art world, and his articles are insightful and tightly drawn, though lengthy. For those interested in art history and its relationship to contemporary art, there is a wealth of information.
        He also challenges some of the the tenets of art history; "Such a historical study involves a question of radical methodology more importantly than it does an unorthodox concept of history: for one would have to discard (at least temporarily) the comforting clichés of art historical "movements" and the perennial embalmed syllabus based on simple-minded chronological sequence, and once again (for once?) look at the works of art themselves."
