James Kalm brings viewers along on one of his cultural field trips, and through a serendipitous coincidence, is able to contrasts exhibitions by a pair of octogenarian painters who are both enjoying something resembling “re-discovery”.  

Robert Moskowitz first garnered critical attention with a solo exhibit at the Leo Castelli Gallery in 1962.  Originally aligned with the Pop Art movement, in the late 1970s Moskowitz evolved a more formalist approach to imagery that was dubbed “New Image”.  This small group of black and white architectural studies continues the artist’s dedicated approach to refined design, and a search for an essence in graphic form.  

Don Dudley also pursues a branch of painterly high formalism.  This group of paintings on panel develops ideas about shapes within the rectangle of the picture plane and the assumed area it entails.  Using a limited palette which includes metallic silver and corrugated metal sections, Dudley extends the legacies of Russian Constructivism and. Neo-Plasticism with a New York School immediacy.  This program was recorded on October 13, and October 15, 2017.
