Given my interest in painting, I found myself going to Milwaukee to see an exhibition that promised to be taking the pulse of contemporary American painting—all the works in it had been made in the last five years. A show of fifty paintings by fifty different painters who the curators claimed were defining the field of contemporary painting seemed a bold move, amidst the general confusion that has been generated by AI, market manipulation, auction house publicity, critical pronouncements, and a general cultural malaise that has lingered since the 1990s.

BENNINGTON â Bennington College and the Bennington Museum apply for and receive grants on a regular basis. But not all of them bear the name of one of the most notable artists who ever called Bennington home.
The college and the museum announced Tuesday they are among the inaugural recipients of the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative, launched by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation to support energy-efficiency and clean-energy use and address climate change action.
Frankenthaler (1928-2011), a second-generation abstract expressionist artist and pioneer in the Color Fields movement, was a 1949 graduate of Bennington and is among the schoolâs most famous alumni.
