prolific hesse

It is amazing to see the work of prolific artists. I don't know what the painting above by Eva Hesse is called, or how large it is. I'll update this post once I find out. A city of marks made on this one surface. Each mark seems to be a note for a new sculpture. A city of sculptures. Here is a famous saying by Sol Lewitt to Hesse that seems to capture the prolific nature of her work.

The artist came to my mind because I overheard friends talking about this exhibition at the Hammer Museum called Eva Hesse Spectres 1960, and because her drawings were part of the On Line exhibition at MOMA. She is on the mind of many no doubt.

I love the little painting from the Spectres exhibition at the end of this post. The belly is made with a multicolored brush stroke--a whoosh. It belongs to the darker body, and becomes from the leg and merges into the arm...
