James Kalm pops into the Berry Campbell Gallery to take in a viewing of the paintings of Dan Christensen. Dan Christensen (1942-2007) was in the forefront of Lyrical Abstraction, the oft maligned movement occurring in the early 1970s that saw itself as a resistant form of art that sought to reestablish painting as intellectually valid, and counter the hegemonic dominance of Minimalism. Christensen is admired within the New York painting community for his fearless experimentation, bold gesture, and poignant color sense. This exhibition features works ranging from the mid 1960s to the mid 2000s. The Gallery tour was recorded on September 17, 2015. A musical introduction is provided by Frank Picarazzi, and was recorded live at Union Square.

That was cool, loved the vibes that lyrically informed the abstract painting.

"Jeez I remember when people used to go to galleries to look at art." I get the feeling you have a delicate relationship with the hipster youth of Brooklyn.

Like the work... not crazy about giving it labels like Lyrical Abstraction, sounds an art world marketing pitch.

While I don't adhere to the notion of the "signature style" I do want to see personal growth in the work. There isn't any in this show, it's ab-ex painting with a spray can. Or minimalism o,r or, or, what?
