A dark geometric shape appears to do battle with two biomorphic entities in Elizabeth Murray’s 1982 canvas at Chelsea’s Cheim & Read Gallery. Part of an exhibition showcasing abstract painting in the 80s, its attention-grabbing drama and size (over ten feet tall) excite the imagination. (Through Aug 30th).
Elizabeth Murray, Sentimental Education, oil on canvas, 127 x 96 inches, 1982.
