Apr 12 . The Flow of Color at MFAH
CORE Performance Company in “The Flow of Color”, April 12, 6:30 p.m. Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
For the April Artful Thursday at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, CORE Performance Company and Artistic Director Sue Schroeder, highly acclaimed for their dances responding to the visual arts, present “The Flow of Color”, new choreography inspired by the exhibition REVELATION: Major Paintings by Jules Olitski.
In a career that spanned six decades, Jules Olitski (1922–2007) never lost his sense of playfulness, capturing both color and light in radiant, luminous canvases. Continually pushing the limits of painting, color, scale, and composition, Olitski invested abstraction with a powerful range of emotions.
“Painting is made from the inside out. I think of painting as possessed by a structure—i.e., shape and size, support and edge—but a structure born of the flow of color feeling. Color in color is felt at any and every place of the pictorial organization; in its immediacy—its particularity. Color must be felt throughout.”—Jules Olitski
