From buttery brushstrokes to massive, sculptural build-ups of surfaces, many contemporary artists-like the Impressionists and Fauves before them-let the paint tell the story. Painters have long been inspired by the rich, visceral qualities of paint; its texture, its color, its sumptuousness. Drawn from the Museum's own holdings, Juicy Paint explores the many ways in which artists have explored and exploited the sheer physicality and dimensional effects of paint since the 1950s. Highlights include works by Elmer Bischoff, Joan Brown, James Hayward, Paul Jenkins, Karl Kasten, Jeffrey Keith, Gordon Onslow-Ford, Sam Tchakalian and Phe Ruiz.
