Για τον πίνακα

Jack Whitten worked with a canvas spread across the floor of his studio to make Rho I in 1977; the painting is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Thick layers of paint were pulled across with a wooden tool he called the Developer. Introduced in 1970, it could carry combs, blades or squeegees. Dragging it exposed lower colours and impressions from the floor or scraps beneath the canvas. Whitten treated his studio as a place for testing materials in response to social and technological change. On view in room 229C Contemporary.

Με τα λόγια του μουσείου

Referring to his studio as his “laboratory,” Jack Whitten experimented with tools and materials to create abstract artworks in response to social, political, and technological issues shaping his world. In 1970, he created the “Developer,” a rakelike wooden device he variously modified with serrated combs, metal blades, and squeegees, among other components. For Rho I, Whitten laid the canvas on his studio floor, covering it with thick coats of paint. He then pulled the Developer across the surface, revealing underlying layers as well as an impression of the studio floor and any scrap materials that may have been left or placed beneath the canvas.
