Curatorial Assistant Isabella Kapur writes on "Untitled (After Frans Snyders)," by Cecily Brown featured here and in our current exhibition "100 Drawings from Now" : ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ "Brown’s work...is a reminder of the grounding physical practice of drawing. Brown’s study of Frans Snyders’s "Still Life with Dead Game, Fruits, and Vegetables in a Market" presents a mass of game meat, bloodless severed animal parts piled high in a gracefully drawn scene of violence and death. Subtle patches of red watercolor bleed into the shadows of the otherwise colorless figures, a change from the cacophonous colors of Snyders’s work that allows the weight and form of the flesh on the table to shift into focus. Brown shows us⁣⁣ two things to be consumed, taken in, and experienced physically—art and food—complicating the inherent comfort of both with her choice of subject."⁣⁣ —⁣⁣⁣⁣ Tap the link in our bio to schedule a visit to the exhibition. isajkapart aujourdhuirose⁣⁣ #cecilybrown #cecilybrownart —⁣⁣⁣⁣ Ima...
