Picking up where the likes of Hans Hoffman, Larry Poons, and Jules Olitski left off, Rebecca Morris' paintings are a lovingly destructive embrace of high modernist tenets as espoused by critics such as Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried. What was once celebrated as pure painting had degenerated into a ubiquitous abstraction that Morris redeems through congealed layers of paint that are a testament to her conviction. Her Paintings say it loud. Abstract and I'm Proud!
