"Vivid"
2004-2011
Inspired by the exhibition "Vivid: Female Currents in Painting"
installed at Schroeder Romero & Shredder Gallery, NY, 2010,
I began a composition investigating the use of this buzzword.
My format sets this review date of January 21, 2011, then works
back in linear time of previously cut-up editions of The Times
"That was a vivid sign that"
In referencing women artists, vivid is only used to describe their
palettes of bright, jewel-like, or luminous colors.
Male artists have a vivid process, focus, clarity, or personality
(with the exception of male Outsiders, Primitives, crafts,
or certain styles like Fauves)
