Untitled 1974

This painting by Kuno Gonschior, it’s a real humdinger, I mean, a chartreuse field of dots. You know, that yellowy-green. And here’s the thing, you can tell those dots were probably laid down one by one. You know, that's the kind of work that really makes you think about the artist's intention and endurance. Were they meditating, just in the zone? I wonder if the painting was a kind of performance, a testament to repetition and precision. I’m sure Gonschior was inspired by others just as he is inspiring other artists too. These kinds of paintings are about mark-making and how something simple can be complex, it’s just a world of dots.
