A beguiling look at abstract art Dec 23, 2007
The summer workshop became a pipeline to the latest developments in New York, attracting leading artists such as Barnett Newman, Kenneth Noland and Donald Judd as well as the top critic of the era, Clement Greenberg. In 1963 Greenberg went to far as to describe the artists in Saskatchewan as "New York's only competitor." Emma Lake was instrumental in the development of the Regina Five -- Ronald Bloore, Ted Godwin, Kenneth Lochhead, Arthur McKay and Doug Morton -- which Greenberg also anointed as... (Vancouver Sun)

His "Freischwimmer" series of ink-jet prints with their swooshing colors and hairlike lines ape the 1960s painterly abstractions of such color-field artists as Kenneth Noland and Jules Olitski. His cynical "Memorial for the Victims of Organized Religions," a grouping of 48 black and dark blue prints that extend around a gallery corner, recalls Maya Lin's angled 1982 Vietnam Veterans Memorial minus the names of the fallen.

Power city's power colors Apr 21, 2007
Mr. Reed -- like the school's major figures, such as Howard Mehring, Gene Davis, Kenneth Noland, Thomas Downing, Morris Louis and others -- concentrated on geometric shapes and vibrant colors, the skeleton of art's formal elements. Gallery director Ramon Osuna brilliantly traces Mr. Reed's 1960s evolution on the long wall that visitors first see, with paintings ranging from the artist's "Field" series at left to that of the "Discs."
