- James Kalm, in the course of his bicycle perambulations, sometimes comes across events that are illuminatingly instructive in their contrasts. “Jay Milder: Broadway Nonstop Subway paintings from the 1950s and 60s”, is an historic exhibition presenting this series together for the first time since the early 1960s. These heavily textured works, bare the influences of the CoBrA artists and the materialist painters that Jay saw while studying in Paris in the early 1950s. But rather than using myths or folklore as his subject, Milder picks the scurrying figures of folks running to catch subway trains instead. Though using an almost comic book like depiction, the heavy facture and “action painting” brushwork is a harbinger of the Neo-Expressionists and masters like Philip Guston who attracted critical attention decades later.
At the other end of the spectrum (and the other side of town), “Supernova” the debut show by Mariana Oushiro at Vito Schnabel presents large works on raw canvas. These pictures are big rough and ragged, creating a painting environment that pays homage to the classic Abstract Expressionists while still providing a space for this young artist to explore her own direction. These pieces have all the spontaneous energy of avant-jazz, and, with the included foot and hand prints, carry the notion of personal mark making to an extravagant level. A musical introduction is provided by Robert Leslie. This program was recorded March 26 and April 2, 2022. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk - Zábava
Wonderful paintings by jay milder. I would have liked to have seen the show.
Love jay milder!
JAY MILDER is BRILLIANT! MARIANA IS EXCELLENT!!!! Luv the scale and formula! Thanks, Kate!
The untitled 1964 36x36 inches looked like some funny, dancing, running trolls - nice energy - and you suddenly stopped the dancing video camera - and its so nice when you do that in front of a painting now and then. But always interesting art shows.
One of my favorite galleries that I have not visited in person yet. Fantastic (Big A Paintings) well done.
Robert Leslie's guitar playing and singing was a nice opening. Very lilting way to open the art show. There's a bit of colorful Jean Dubuffet in some of his work. I like the impasto stylings. Thanks Kate.
James I am an artist from The Philippines. I love your youtube channel and vlogs.
Two really good shows - an interesting pairing besides the cool musician. I was friends with Jay Milder early on in SoHo, for several years not only Rhino Horn I showed with my partner Art Guerra that Jay was quite involved with then at 63 Crosby. I don’t recall ever seeing this previous large figurative group of Jay’s work I found quite impressive. Great colorist I must say. Good you noted Appel who had several big shows in SoHo that knocked me over during those years - his really huge gestural paint loaded paintings that had figurative & landscape elements.
Nice to see these works by Jay Milder. I spent many hours with Jay in coffee shops in Easton PA, talking about every subject imaginable (and some unimaginable). Hope all is well Jay.
Wonderful segment. I enjoyed the work of both artists. Thank you.
Jay Milder lives and works in Easton, PA. He and Bill Barrel moved there and bought a very large building after 9/11. Jay (and Bill) were friends with Bob Thompson, Red Grooms, Claus Oldenburg, and others in Provincetown making art before moving as a collective to NYC. Pretty sure that history is right - I previously lived in Easton right down the street from Jay and Bill. You could (and would) see them both moving oil paint around almost on a daily basis from the studio windows. Great vid as always JK & Kate.
Thanks for you memories @Button Gallery. Always nice to get more back-story...
Ah man I'd never heard about Jay Milder before. He's fantastic! This is gesture done right! Someone like George Condo always struck me as cynically using another tool in his tool belt, but this guy drips and mushes with the best of them. Love his use of those off-white tones. Love his colors in general. Thanks, Kate!
two excellent artists! Bravo!!!! thanks Kate! thanks James!
Thank you, as always, James Kalm for the work that you do.
And the debut show with the very large paintings seem to be very much a dance of lines in a very restricted color palet of raw canvas, dark, Black, a bit of grey ans a light grey blue - very dynamic 🎶🖤🎵
Energetic work, nice compositions, color. Enjoy this style work, thanks for another informative video, always impressed you retain and share so much info.
There is a lot of attractive energy in these kinds of paintings - they seem very much like an Asger Jorn philosophy. Be open to feelings, emotions, be direct and mix lines and forms in a spontaneous way being both abstract and yet playfull, and phantastic. I like them very much. Very dynamic, very strong, and at the same time wild and direct
Jay Milders work was fantastic, Loved it! The other artist work was big.
Excellent
Made before I was born, but have a very contemporary feel...
Hey James,
Such a good video review of my father's show! Yes he was part of the Rhino Horn Group in the late 60' early 70's. Along with Benny Andrews, Peter Dean, Peter Passuntino, Ken Bowman, Michael Fauerbach, Nicholas Sperakis. They were working figuratively during a time when figurative work was not in fashion.
Thanks Rifka, this was a very impressive show...I'm trying to get some interest for a Peter Dean show dumbed up. Another underappreciated artist.
Two interesting shows!
Jay's work could hold it's on even without the faces. The thickness and colors I really liked.
Marianna's scale impressive and the courage to work so big at only 30.
As always, thanks!
נההההההננ
Oshiro's work really efficient work: stain-get dirt on raw canvas walking around etc and doodling over it. Love simplicity.
good youre back!!! always loved your videos ..thanks
This video was a royal treat for me, discovering an artist I'd never heard of (Jay Milder) and getting the usual lavish and wonderful attention to each piece. I will be re-watching this soon! As others have said, I appreciate you bringing up references to Karel Appel and Asker Jorn. Agree to with other reviewers here that of course Dubuffet comes to mind as well, and that his color sense is extraordinary. These pieces are sensational. Ms. Oushiro's show was definitely big, raw and Schnabel-ready... Fearlessly wading into the past and bringing it back again. Thank you James, thank you Kate!
Thanks for the work that you do to bring the art to us! Always such a treat and thank you Kate!
Thank you Kate.
Thank you
The black's, gray's & white one ( horizontal ) reminds me of Picasso's Guernica
I kinda thought about that too...
@@jameskalmroughcut Can you envision any other way that a young, ambitious 28 yrs. old New York artist cover such a large surface.
YOU BLEW IT..YOU HAD THE CHANCE AND DIDN'T TALK TO HER..
@@mikecrane9 These openings are a social ritual with very complex protocols, and courtesies. I've been going to these things for 45 years, and recording for 18 years, I can sense when it's appropriate to impinge on an artist, and when it's not. This was not the time for an interview with a stranger...Sorry @Mike Crane...
@@jameskalmroughcut Me as well!
Jay Milder- Substance, depth, and soul.
Oushiro- Feather weight fluff and hype.
yes firstone it reminds cobra.btw you know Lynn channel has the second show report just notice
James; Been binging on your art gallery videos lately and getting a lot of art knowledge and background (and a little street music, too). You capture the flavor and sights of the shows - I especially like the close-ups of the paintings. Keep up the good work, my man!
Robert Leslie 👍
Wow wonder what those prices are?
I'll never understand how galleries afford to stay open in nyc
painting with the thumbs
can someone expand on the "oil and Volcanic ash" bit?
Hey @BarnBeastPetite I think the ash gave the oil some body, and may have helped it to dry faster(?) JK
@@jameskalmroughcut Thank you James! Jay really makes me want to paint with oil again but I just cant afford that much paint! Looking into alternatives for the impasto look in the waterbased world:) But it never will look similiar:)
I'm guessing the volcanic ash is similar to adding marble dust

What's the easiest thing to waste, but impossible to replace...?
Time
@@david5704 Time !! I was right too. Maybe my brain hasn't turned to mush, 2 yrs.' into a pandemic and lots of other stuff.
@@TD-qi2rw The older I get the more precious time becomes.
@@david5704 Thank you for sharing. Heavy stuff indeed. I'm so grateful to have grown during these times, spending my time with the Kalm Report & The Brooklyn Rail , New Social Environment. Time is memory and we can choose our memories.
Ahead of his time, reads very contemporary!
Nice and impressive - but perhaps in a too fashionable and shallow way…!!
Thank you
Thank you
