Daily Pic: Two shots of a recent piece by the veteran sculptor Robert Grosvenor, in his solo show now at Paula Cooper Gallery in New York. Yesterday in this space, I wrote about the sheer, indomitable painterly skill of Joan Mitchell. Today, it’s a matter of the sheer sculptural authority of Grosvenor. I’m not saying that I’m in favor of “traditional artistic values ,” but it is impressive when you see how totally some older artists learned to understand and command their media. That doesn’t make Grosvenor a better artist than his younger contemporaries, but it does mean that he’s more likely to make coherent, excellent sculpture – as he has for his show at Cooper.

"An M.I.T. neuroscientist named Ann Graybiel told me that she and her colleagues began exploring..."

“

An M.I.T. neuroscientist named Ann Graybiel told me that she and her colleagues began exploring habits more than a decade ago by putting their wired rats into a T-shaped maze with chocolate at one end. The maze was structured so that each animal was positioned behind a barrier that opened after a loud click. The first time a rat was placed in the maze, it would usually wander slowly up and down the center aisle after the barrier slid away, snifﬁng in corners and scratching at walls. It appeared to smell the chocolate but couldn’t ﬁgure out how to ﬁnd it. There was no discernible pattern in the rat’s meanderings and no indication it was working hard to find the treat.

The probes in the rats’ heads, however, told a different story. While each animal wandered through the maze, its brain was working furiously. Every time a rat sniffed the air or scratched a wall, the neurosensors inside the animal’s head exploded with activity. As the scientists repeated the experiment, again and again, the rats eventually stopped snifﬁng corners and making wrong turns and began to zip through the maze with more and more speed. And within their brains, something unexpected occurred: as each rat learned how to complete the maze more quickly, its mental activity decreased. As the path became more and more automatic — as it became a habit — the rats started thinking less and less.

Morris Louis, Russet, 1958

From MoMA:

Louis made Russet by pouring thinned acrylic paintdown a tilted unprimed canvas, allowing gravity, rather than a paintbrush, to dictate its flow and contours. The two dark vertical lines in the painting indicate where he folded the loose canvas to guide the paint in sections. Along the top of the canvas, the vibrant individual colors he used reveal themselves in the edges of this otherwise muted, ethereal painting. The work belongs to a series of breakthrough paintings the artist made between 1954 and 1958, known as Veils because of the translucent layers and billowing shapes of their aqueous pools of color. The title of this work refers to the overall reddish-brown tone of the paint and, like many of Louis’s titles, was assigned to the work by Clement Greenberg, an influential American art critic and a close friend of the artist.
