Barry Flanagan’s oeuvre hinges on his exploration of and dialogue with Alfred Jarry’s “pataphysics,” or the “the science of imaginary solutions.” This ethos is evident in the playfulness of his approach, which allows materials to find their own sculptural form, whether sand, stone, clay, or bronze. Throughout his career, he fused the everyday, the imaginary and the fantastical, and is perhaps best known for his sculptures of animal forms including hares, elephants, dogs, and horses.

Characterized by the painter Fairfield Porter as both “traditional and radical,” Jane Freilicher mastered a distinctive painterly realism for over sixty years. Much like her still-life paintings, which are subtle celebrations of the everyday, the artist’s landscapes offer quiet meditations on form, texture, and color. Though she came of age in the era of Abstract Expressionism, Freilicher defied trends and continually returned to the immediate scenes around her—the fields, trees, flowers, and skylines seen from her studio windows.
