Artist Connection
It is always fun to see a museum exhibition of an artist in which one has acquired a piece of theirs early in their career. My Trenton Doyle Hancock piece was done when he was in his twenties. Now the mature work of the Texas artist is seen in NYC at the exhibition “Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston” at The Jewish Museum. My Trenton Doyle Hancock has greater meaning to me as I see how much Trenton Doyle Hancock was influenced by Philip Guston, an artist two generations older than him. Despite 60 years difference in age, Trenton Doyle Hancock’s work seen in this exhibition is responding directly to Philip Guston’s work. Art connects us in so many ways, intersecting different religions, races and political points of view. Ideas presented with a dynamic aesthetic permeate our consciousness.
