Hopper Cityscapes, Prior to the Paint
As this gem of an exhibition on the Upper East Side demonstrates, Edward Hopper found himself in etching. For the first 18 years of his career, unable to support himself by painting, Hopper was obliged to work as a commercial illustrator. He worked for various New York advertising agencies, and enjoyed a short stint on the New Masses, the socialist paper whose art editor was his friend and, to ...

An Allegory To Vindicate Arcimboldo
Giuseppe Arcimboldo painted many interesting works, but few really good ones. That is one of the reasons for which this 16th-century Lombard master is held in scant regard by the more discerning critics of Old Master painting. Another reason, to be frank, is that people who don't like painting often like Arcimboldo. Their affection is a consequence of the defining weirdness of his career — his ...

Elizabeth Peyton's Portraits of Pretty Things
Elizabeth Peyton is best known for her facile portraits of famous people. Although the 43-year-old artist sometimes works in black and white, most of her paintings, drawings, and prints are suffused with sensuous color: throbbing reds, luminous blues, and dusky purples that she juxtaposes against wan skin tones and feverish red lips. Ms. Peyton favors young men as subject matter, and has ...

The Twins of the Rec Room: Os Gemeos
Os Gemeos — "the twins," in Portuguese — is the nom de plume of the twin Brazilian artists Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo (b. 1974) of São Paulo, Brazil. Their work borrows the idioms of outsider and folk art in a style heavily influenced by the one-time graffiti artist Barry McGee. And though, like Mr. McGee, they might once have been artists of the street, their gallery-sized installation at ...

Underworld Takes On the Art World
The list of contemporary musicians who have dabbled in visual arts projects is a formidable one. David Byrne has tried his hand at photography. Patti Smith was known for her forays into painting.

Summer Shows: Asako Narahashi, 'The Good Life'
Yossi Milo's current exhibition, "Asako Narahashi: half awake and half asleep in the water," is an appropriately refreshing summertime show. As the title implies, a large part of each of the nine C-prints on display is taken up by water. Ms. Narahashi (b. 1959 in Tokyo) uses a commonplace Nikonos 35 mm waterproof camera and a set procedure. She floats chest deep in the waters of inland lakes or ...

Natural Beauty, Unnatural Balance
The most profound investigation by an artist into the world of plants is Paul Klee's "The Nature of Nature," the second of his posthumously published two-volume Bauhaus teaching notebooks. Klee's notebooks, the first of which is "The Thinking Eye," are no substitute for his art. They do, however, provide entrance into the metaphors, processes, and structures of abstract painting. In "The Nature ...
