Marylyn Dintenfass: Good & Plenty Juicy
View Irving Sandler's interview of Marylyn Dintenfass here.
Marylyn Dintenfass is an internationally recognized artist whose work is found in major public and private collections in Italy, Denmark, Israel, Japan, and the United States, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. Recently, her work has been the subject of separate solo shows at the Mississippi Museum of Art and the Greenville County Museum of Art, and a 2007 Hudson Hills monograph written by Lilly Wei.
Vibrant and layered colors shine in the work of Dintenfass. Her abstract markings reference the artist’s personal lexicon and express a variety of sensations. Dintenfass’s new oils address experiences of everyday sensual pleasures mixed with more transcendent gratifications, revealed in works that are beautiful and evocative, yet also mysterious and provocative. While her paintings remain visually interesting or exciting, if enigmatic, to others, it remains on a personal level all very clear… bold reflections of an engaged life.
Good & Plenty Juicy showcases some of the artist’s most recent work: large scale paintings and works on paper showing Dintenfass’s continuing use of the grid and bold, forceful color. Lilly Wei has written that the paintings of Marylyn Dintenfass are "lush but also astringent, with a glittered coolness and reserve that offsets its heat, her work offers a bracing example of an experiential painting for the present."
