NYC Art Alert | MoMA's Breathtaking Jack Whitten Show 🎨🎵
Finally caught Jack Whitten: *The Messenger* at MoMA—and wow, his paintings literally pulse with life! From afar they look flat, but up close? 3D textures that seem to breathe. 🔹 Unconventional Genius: • No brushes here! Whitten scraped, combed, and pressed paint with metal grids, trowels, even dried acrylic chips (hello, mosaic magic!). • Peek at Black Monolith—those "pixels" hide copper, salt, chocolate, and onion skins (!). 🔹 Quiet Power: His colors feel meditative, but the strokes? Raw energy. Siberian Salt Grinder looks like ice cracking open to reveal hidden fire. 🔹 Jazz for Your Eyes: The show plays actual jazz (perfect match!). Stand before Atopolis: For Édouard Glissant—8 panels shimmering like an ocean of light—and feel your heartbeat sync with the rhythm. 📅 Hurry! Ends Aug 2. Weekdays = fewer crowds. ✏️ Don’t miss his studio tools/sketches—they reveal his wild process. 📍 MoMA, NYC Ever seen art that feels alive? Which piece would you stare at for hours?
