WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES an artist an artist’s artist? For my money, it’s a purity of intent, manifesting as a relentless interrogation of precepts concerning both art and its valuation that places the act of creation—with all that term’s spiritual connotations—above the commercial imperatives of the art system. Common among those individuals worthy of the exalted appellation is a temptation to vacate, in view of unacceptable compromise, the industry’s fraught financial space.

The painter turns to assemblage at Artists SpaceI’VE ALWAYS BEEN CHARMED by the brag attributed to Picasso: “I don’t seek, I find.” It feels true, in his case, but also reminds me of those fellow students who used to say, “Oh, I never study for the exam”: Probably they were secretly cramming after convincing everyone else there was no need to do so. Still, ever since I met Andy Robert a couple of years ago, I’ve seen him as an artist who probably finds more than he seeks.

The art of Gilles AillaudIN MAY 1967, the French painter Gilles Aillaud showed a selection of recent works at the Galleria Il Fante di Spade, in Rome. Of the eight reproduced in the accompanying catalogue, all present animals inside various enclosures: crocodiles corralled into side-by-side pens; tapirs nosing a concrete dais; snakes coiled and stretched out in cells. As is typical of the artist’s zoo paintings generally, none include human figures.

The art of Ellen GallagherONCE UPON A TIME, you entered Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum to visit its world-class collection of early-twentieth-century abstract art, and then climbed a grand staircase to arrive at its Hall of Honor on the first floor. And once upon a time, that first-floor space held the work of the Big Boys of the New York School, thereby functioning as a triumphant climax to the museum’s telos of abstraction. But that was when the museum consisted only of its original 1895 building.

FRANCESCA HUMMLER’S simple lapidary gestures (green logs in a bathtub, a toy house burning on a stovetop) are, as Robert Frost wrote poems ought to be, “as different as possible” from one another. Like those of Douglas Huebler and Hiroshi Sugimoto, her procedural poetics contrasts with the more clinical and scientific spirit of typology that often dominates conceptual photography (a legacy of August Sander, among others), tapping into a Teutonic deadpan humor à la Peter Fischli and David Weiss.

Practically all great artists accept the influence of others. But . . . the artist with vision sees his material, chooses, changes, and by integrating what he has learned with his own experiences, finally molds something distinctly personal. —Romare BeardenBLACK COLLAGISTS are stewards and storytellers.
