Stanley Boxer made "Autumnal Brown Gesture" with paint, but when, exactly, is more of a feeling than a date, right? The canvas is swathed in this hazy, dreamy purple, like a faded memory. Boxer isn’t trying to hide the process; you can see the strokes, the layers, the way the colors shift and blend. It’s like watching the painting come into being, a conversation between the artist and the canvas. Look at those floating rectangles of brown, they’re like autumn leaves caught in a gentle breeze. They don’t quite sit on the surface; they seem to hover, adding to the painting's ethereal quality. This color, this shape, becomes a kind of language that speaks to something beyond words. Boxer’s work reminds me a bit of Milton Avery. Both had this knack for reducing forms to their essence and creating these quiet, meditative spaces with color. It’s never about a single, fixed meaning but about letting the painting resonate with your own experiences and feelings.
