“Franz Gertsch: Polyfocal Allover”

Swiss painter Franz Gertsch made his mark in ’70s Europe with photorealistic paintings defined by bright, snapshot-y colors and countercultural flair. His subject matter drew from the underground milieu of the period, with images of Patti Smith and scenes of young artists milling about in a commune. A series of canvases featuring the latter are presented here, along with a later suite of large woodcut prints featuring portraits of women and bodies of water that share an icy, preternatural calm.
