Rebecca Morris
If the closure of Modernist painting is taken as the closure of painting itself, then under the aegis of postmodernism, painting's history is a finite collection of fully legible styles up for being quoted. In this circumstance, the question arises of whether there exists such a thing as an abstract painting. Judging from Morris's work, the answer is a resounding "Yes!" Her shapes, lines, colors, gestures, and surfaces function as an Ur or proto language of abstraction in which one can discern the compositional logic of Stella's black paintings, an isolated Pollock-like splatter, or a Hoffmanesque approach to the juxtaposition of color. This catalogue, the first monograph on Morris's work, contains essays by Diedrich Diederichsen and Stephen Westfall. Westfall examines Morris's relationship to contemporary urban material culture, tracing the redemptive transformation of the cheap, grimy and gauche that occurs in her paintings. Diederichsen locates the place of Morris's work within the rocky history of abstract painting, concluding ultimately that Morris's practice points out a way around the polarization of modernism's and postmodernism's constructions of the genre.

Summary of Rebecca Morris's Ted and Ann
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When Eleanor Louise Cowell, who would become a serial killer, was pregnant in 1946, she went to the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers in Vermont. She had a baby with a man who said he was a veteran of World War II and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. But when she tried to find him, he disappeared. #2 The family was secretive about the story of Ted’s conception. His grandparents told some people that they had adopted a baby, but Teddy’s great-aunt Virginia Bristol was skeptical. #3 The stories related by Louise’s sisters and relatives have a gothic quality. They say that Samuel was a tyrant, and that he had a stash of pornography that the young Teddy must have seen. He was also cruel to animals. #4 The author’s father was a serial killer, and his mother never told him about it. He learned about it from a psychologist who was studying death row inmates in Florida. He concluded that Ted lacked any core experience of care and nurturance or early emotional sustenance.
