<div>Lynne Mapp Drexler’s "Untitled (Dark)" (1962) reflects the artist’s revered 1960s period, a formative decade recently honored in the exhibition "Lynne Drexler: Color Notes" at the Farnsworth Art Museum (May 4, 2024 – January 12, 2025). Executed in oilstick on paper, this intimate work demonstrates Drexler’s signature approach of layering short, insistent strokes into dense, tessellated patterns.

"ללא כותרת (כהה)" (1962) של לין מאפ דרקסלר משקפת את תקופת שנות ה-60 הנערצת של האמנית, עשור מכונן שזכה לאחרונה לכבוד בתערוכה "לין דרקסלר: הערות צבע" במוזיאון האמנות פרנסוורת' (4 במאי 2024 - 12 בינואר 2025). יצירה אינטימית זו, שבוצעה בצבעי שמן על נייר, מדגימה את הגישה הייחודית של דרקסלר לשילוב משיכות קצרות ועקשניות בדוגמאות צפופות ומשובצות. כאן, לעומת זאת, פלטת הצבעים שלה כהה באופן ניכר, ומעוררת אווירה קודרת ומהורהרת יותר מאשר בדיה הצבעוניים שלה מאותה תקופה.





למרות היותה קטנה יותר בקנה מידה, "ללא כותרת (אפל)" חושפת את אותה עבודת מכחול ממושמעת אך מאולתרת שהגדירה את הקריירה המוקדמת של דרקסלר. יחסים כרומטיים מבנים את הקומפוזיציה, תוך הזכירה את תיאוריית ה"דחיפה-משיכה" של הנס הופמן, בעוד שחופש הביטוי של יצירת הסימנים שלה מנתב את השפעתו של מורה רוברט מאת'רוול. התוצאה היא חקירה קומפקטית אך עוצמתית של קצב, צבע וטון רגשי.





התערוכה "ללא כותרת (כהה)", החתום על ידי עיזבונה של לין דרקסלר וחתום ומתוארך בצדה האחורי של האמנית, מציעה הצצה נדירה לניסוייה של דרקסלר על נייר במהלך עשור מכריע בקריירה שלה.
