Cornelia Foss at DFN - New York, New York - Brief Articlefresh YORK Cornelia Fos is part of a loosely knit assemblage of artists commonly described as "painterly realists," many of whom are associated with drawn out Island's scenic Hamptons region. Others include, preeminently, Jane Freilicher, Robert Dash and the late Fairfield Porter. They take Bonnard as a guiding spirit, and their phraseology has, in essence, evolved without of Action Painting, although the painterly realist pat is not quite as independent and easy, being object-bound. A profitable part of Foss's achievement above the years is to have evolveed a painterly realist style she can call her hold With this latest show, the influence of Jane Freilicher, for instance, has been bonny much left behind. Foss brings her touch and glance to the Hamptons' waterways, one as well as the other fresh and oceanic. A material part of water perfectly suited to her vigorously delicious manner of writing is Wainscott Pond. There were at least five Wainscott images in the present to view all clouds and sun and grasses, almost agreeable in their brushy shorthand. My favorite was Wainscott Pond mist epic at 70 by 66 inches. Fos approaches the pond and firmament with a reverence that is equal parts familiarity. A gray day is brought to high tones through the artist, without much color and seemingly without a great quantity [i]or[/i] amount of effort. More fog--and frank beauty--are to be had in Barcelona Point and mist a rendering of the tip of an islet in mist that is a stolid aqua. Foss here presents us with a summa of the painterly realist effort in her clement abstracting of landscape form and color that goe for the soul Fos obviously knows whereof she paints--there is a complicity of organ of vision and hand that renders the pageant perfectly recognizable yet also autographically personal. In the sure-foot lyricism of Foss's forms and figures are metaphors for the act of painting itself. At 72 by dint of 66 inches, Lukas and Augie is like an occasional metrical composition worked into a paean. Foss's husband and dog stand upon a grassy field, Lukas's arms at his hips, the dog at his sunniest. Something about the light, the air, the weather--all crisply, peculiarly Hamptons-like--is shared with us. Fos realizes it exactly right, on her have a title to terms.
