3.3.96 -12.17.96 Bleeker
1996
97 x 72 in. (246.38 x 182.88 cm)
Frank Lobdell (Kansas City, Missouri, 1921 - 2013, Palo Alto, California) Primary
Frank Lobdell: Wonderland (2012)
By the late 1990s, Frank Lobdell was filling his paintings with characters suspended in fields of rich color. In 3.3.96-12.17.96 Bleeker, for example, he used curving lines to balance and push his characters upward. The placement of his forms and lines reveals his methodology. His characters are integrated into fields of color, while very active brushwork produces subtle, deliberate changes in hue and tonal intensity. The act of painting is crucial to his work. “The hand is so important,” remarked Lobdell. “This is how things are described…. The main thing is to keep your hand in it, through the entire process…. Each medium presents a different set of problems. But it’s the hand in the end. And it has to be my hand in all of this.”
Frank Lobdell: Wonderland, March 10, 2012 - August 5, 2012, New Wing, Second Floor, North Gallery, San José Museum of Art.
