Last night I got caught up in learning about Rose Wylie; 90 years old - a British artist who has become the critics’ new delight with her Phillip Guston like cartoon paintings and her messy house. Her and Isabella Ducrot are the latest thing in the art world. I think Isabelle is 92.
I love Ducrot’s paintings of flowers and dots and her use of old textiles and their sensibility, and I think I would be interested in Rose’s too. Old lady painters. Cool old lady painters. The world has finally noticed them.
