There's nothing like a really big painting, if it is really good. And these paintings are really, really big, and very good. To me these paintings represent the fine side of the feminist influence in modern art --you are awash in gorgeous waves of color which envelop and yet entertain you: Still somehow make you admire the concreteness of their facture. This show is really a treat. Perhaps it's better not to think of some of the later works of these same artists. Movements make art, not artists.
