KISS THE BAND WITH YOUR EYES
The powers of the eye, much like the brain, are under
utilized. A group of artists from Southern California in
the 60s set out to coax the eye to reach its full potential;
at least in its capacity to drink in the euphoric powers of
light, space and the purity of form and color. Attempts by
critics to label them—terms like Light and Space, Finish
Fetishists, West Coast Minimalists, have fallen far short
from marrying label with visual achievement. The pupil
dilates and pins when observing these works the way the
heart races from new romance as the eye struggles to
orient and determine whether the light illuminates from
within the work or in reflection.
