Pat Steir, detail of Winter Group 2: Yellow Gold and Red Gold, 2009-2011, oil on canvas
Well I'm as tired of this rain as the next person, but Pat Steir's recent paintings make me feel better about the weather. If it's going to be this wet, I'd just just as soon revisit her droplets and rivulents, gushing surfaces and atmospheric mist from a nice, dry perspective. The work you see here is from Pat Steir: Winter Paintings at Cheim and Read in February.

I'm not often moved by the reviews you post (though I like seeing/reading them), we just have different aesthetics I think. But WOW. Just wow. These are amazing. Now I need to know if she ever has work in London!
Amazing work,uplifting.
Beautiful work! Appreciate the photo's. BTW, I really enjoy your reviews - refreshing to read reviews from an artists perspective.

Beautiful post! Thanks
So beautiful! They make me feel better about this unending rain. Thanks for posting. I love both the distance shots and close-ups. Wish I could have seen them in person.
These are stunning and do what I want art to do- push me to work! Thank you.
Gorgeous.
Very nice, thanks.
thanks for this terrific post, and for giving me a taste of NY since I haven't been able to get there and walk around for over 6 months!
