About the Item
Beat, 2012 oil on linen, 24-1/4 x 21-1/2 inches
In each saturated color image, Jim Richard seamlessly collages photographs of fine art objects into pictures of living rooms decked in 1960s and 70s décor. Geometric op art is nestled next to stuffed animals; surface patterns, textures, and styles mix and match and clash. Richard equalizes these juxtapositions with uniform paint handling. His approach resembles paint-by-numbers. Clean, high-contrast blocks of color demarcate the contours of each form while also abstracting details. Often images include gallery and studio interiors studded with kitsch objects, further confusing distinctions of good and bad taste, and amateur and professional aesthetics. Richard pleasurably questions the manner by which fine art is displayed and distinguished within the universe of decorative objects.
Jim Richard (b. 1943, Port Arthur, TX) lives and works in New Orleans, LA. He received a BFA from Lamar State College of Technology in Beaumont, TX (1965) and an MFA from the University of Boulder, CO (1968). He has exhibited his work internationally for the last 25 years, including most recently solo exhibitions at the New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA (2012); Jeff Bailey Gallery (2011); and Inman Gallery (2010 and 2004). Richard received a Pollack-Krasner Foundation Award in Painting (2006) and a Joan Mitchell Foundation Award in Painting (2004). His work is in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; and the New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA, among others.

- In the middle of the roadBy Dana FrankfortLocated in Houston, TXDana Frankfort In the middle of the road, 2017 oil on canvas over panel 48 x 48 x 1.75 inches For over two decades, Dana Frankfort has explored the vexing periphery between language and sight by painting words. Rather than laying claim to the paintings, controlling their semiotic pulse, her words serve as the formal armature; they prop up, ventilate, and allow the many layers of paint to breathe. Imperatives, allusions, evocations—the words dissolve into a palimpsest of obscured serifs and stems, into color and form. The title of the work is a phrase from a poem by Carlos Drummond de Andrade’s “In the Middle of Road.” Here it is, translated from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Bishop...Category
