Comments on: Keeping Your Balance in the Windy City: Report from Chicago http://www.artcritical.com/2011/10/09/chicago/ Tue, 14 May 2013 17:47:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4 By: Brian Edmonds http://www.artcritical.com/2011/10/09/chicago/comment-page-1/#comment-11201 Brian Edmonds Tue, 25 Oct 2011 02:18:07 +0000 http://artcritical.com/?p=19475#comment-11201 I have always felt the same way about Pearlstein. His figures seem cold and detached. I am sure that is his intent. Freud's figures are also detached but the technique is of course much different. I have always been a little disappointed in the Chicago art scene. When you visited the galleries were you impressed? Where would you rank Chicago among other U.S. cities? Even the current museum shows seem a little lackluster. I have always felt the same way about Pearlstein. His figures seem cold and detached. I am sure that is his intent.

The portraits are emotionally charged and calming. His paint speaks volumes. Valentine’s work is immediate, raw and unfettered – striking a chord with both the familiar and the unrecognizable.
