Review: From Caravaggio to Bernini, Seventeenth Century Italian Masterpieces from the Spanish Royal Collections
by Flora Armetta
It was so hot in Rome in mid-July that even a short walk to the Scudierie del Quirinale felt more like a bad dream than a pleasant morning jaunt. But if the dust and heat were a bit nightmarish, the show on view there through the 30th, "From Caravaggio...

by David Masello
The moment Barbara Ernst Prey applies a brushstroke to paper, the swath of color she leaves behind is something simultaneously brand new and old. “I paint every day with my mother’s brushes,” the artist says from her bright third-floor studio in the...

“Tête-à-Tête”: Portraits at Allan Stone Projects
by Gail Leggio
            Portraiture is an ancient and durable genre. The vanity of patrons and the circumstances of official image-making play important roles in the tradition, of course, and much first-rate work—from the Roman Empire, Diego Velázquez, Anthony Van...
Infinite Depths
by David Masello
Peter Polites’s oceanscapes and landscapes are measured responses to phenomena never at rest. When Peter Polites sells one of his water-themed paintings to someone, he often likes to tell them with a bit of humor, “Batteries are included with the canvas...

by Gail Leggio
Tony Curanaj’s (b. 1973) exhibition (November 19–December 19, 2015) at Joshua Liner Gallery in New York City is titled “Echoes and Endeavors.” The second part of that rather enigmatic title acknowledges the masterly control and patient craftsmanship of...
