While Stella, once he broke from the mold of Greenbergian flatness, could equate presence only with volume and visual weight, Bonnefoi's response to the same strictures was an emphasis on thinness and on the absence of physical weight; an excess of both material and metaphorical lightness.
Consisting of large-scale pieces mounted on wooden panels, and smaller works on paper, Jablon's paintings combine thick, gluey pigments that range in hue from garish colors to black, with subtle adornments of glass that look like diamante puncturing the flatness of a two-dimensional surface.
I know you think I'm the sort of fool who would describe a dosa as a "pancake" and get all squirmy-buttocked about "foreign" fried foods, but I do honestly mean a pancake—a sugar-and-lemon, circular-disc-of-eggy-flatness, easy-on-the-Nutella pancake.
It can be hard to keep track of the throngs of characters and myriad feuds, but Green gets his teeth in and hangs on, teasing out deeper truths of the crew's world — namely, the flatness of social relations and the explosive potential of even silly conflicts.
Some of the quibbles people have had with the book, about the bratty flatness of Amy's character, or about how the romantic relationships unfold, are reconsidered with a depth of humanity and understanding of the time in which the book was written, infusing them with new life.
The same split occurs when we take in the disorienting construction of the sculptures before steeping our gaze in their luxuriantly painted surfaces, or when the stark flatness of the paint covering parts of the enormous hands feels at war with the seductiveness of the flesh.
These diverse sources aren't made explicit, but Suss's paintings immediately feel unreal because of their flatness, broad perspectives, and use of three-fourths scale — which makes these rooms seem enterable from afar, but up close, are clearly diminutive, and even dollhouse-like because of Suss's playful colors.
Johns's answer suggests the following: he believes the viewer's response to a "broken representation of the human physique" is visceral, which further suggests that his primary concern, at the beginning of his career, was not art-about-art or witty demonstrations of such formal concerns as painting's flatness.
Brown paints, prints, stencils and sprays on thin aluminum and Dibond panels, enhancing the screenlike flatness of the works.) The piece "i,25" (2018) shows the view out of a windshield with a smartphone in the foreground mapping the journey, and the driver's reflection in the rearview mirror.
There is a cool appeal to Ybarra's voice, the matter-of-fact way she lays out facts and feelings — "I felt a great urge to scream, but I didn't" — yet ultimately this stiff-upper-lip treatment instills a disconcerting flatness, making a kidnapping by hooded intruders seem almost banal.

It is precisely what it sounds like: a chair made out of the cowling of an actual 737 engine, best known for its trademark squat appearance — most airliner engines are round, but the 737's have a little bit of flatness along the bottom edge so they have enough ground clearance.
Race up the south entrance stairs, pause beneath the arches of the loggia, run your hands along the soft limestone pillars, and imagine a metamorphosis occurs: The vermilion walls peel away, fine dentils recede into flatness, turrets and towers, with their finials and conical caps, transform themselves into concise pyramids.
By using equally long, thin, wavy lines in "Seated Male Nude, Back View" (1910) and "Standing Man" (1913) (perhaps, the best drawing in the show with its magnificent messy maroon shirt that re-establishes the flatness of the picture plane), Schiele's men are sensually elongated to the point of mystic suggestion.
X-rays of "Facade of a House (Windows)" reveal that Schiele had painted over the left corner of the building and extended the facade across the entire picture plane, transforming a typical cityscape into an exercise in flatness that you would find in the work of Lois Dodd or Catherine Murphy.
The bottom fifth or so of this glossy, blackish monochrome is canted at an angle of maybe 30 degrees; as with Frank Stella's "Running V" paintings, also from the mid-1960s, photographs of this work overplay the illusion of perspective which, in person, is no stronger than the painting's resolute flatness.
Some of the two-dimensional works, like Hankwitz's "C'mon, C'mon," emphasize the flatness of their medium — Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson's handwoven silk painting, Susan Wanklyn's playful abstractions in casein on wood panel, and Robert Moskowitz's equally buoyant pastel silhouettes of a baseball bat and a beer bottle on nearly empty sheets of paper.
These may sound overly restrictive, but there are rules and there are rules; some, such as Clement Greenberg's insistence in "Towards a Newer Laocoön" (1940) that painting "re-assert its material flatness," can lead to institutionally-sanctioned aridity, while others apply acupressure to the creative meridians, releasing their juices in an unstoppable flow.
Even at his most conventional, when he was most recognizable as "rock" (as on Aladdin Sane, 1980's Scary Monsters, etc.) there's something cold, something alienated about the very sound of the music, a flatness to the thrash, a deadpan affectlessness to the groove, a determination to just play the hooks and/or go through the motions.
Like her Chicago Imagist cohort (Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt, Roger Brown, Barbara Rossi, Karl Wirsum, and Ed Paschke), Murray never sanctified her surface with flatness or opticality, but instead adulterated it into a theater of saucy grotesques — a space she would eventually blow up and reconfigure into a character in itself, a golem molded from the painting's ground.
"It (the reason of flatness in the loonie) is a bit of uncertainty with respect to what the Fed statement is going to look like tomorrow, and again we do have important economic data coming out of Canada as well," said Bipan Rai, executive director and North America head of FX strategy at CIBC capital markets.
Apple said that this process, combined with antenna "splits" for cellar function, may result in "subtle deviations in flatness more visible only from certain viewing angles that are imperceptible during normal use":To provide optimal cellular performance, small vertical bands or "splits" in the sides of the iPad allow parts of the enclosure to function as cellular antennas.
Despite the occasional flatness of MacNicol's prose, and some irksome references to her glitzy life, I found myself underlining sentences, and then entire passages, that resonated with me, articulating the extreme inadequacy and sense of dislocation single women of a certain age, like MacNicol — and like me — experience in moments when others are growing closer without you.
After all the sourness and flatness of season three — especially in those arc-free episodes that come in the end — "The Bitch Is Back" is a fantastic return to form for the show, an episode that manages to at once hold the seeds of a compelling story for a potential (and never realized) season four and to be a compelling farewell hour.
Marsden Hartley's admiration for the folk paintings he encountered in the American Southwest comes across in portraits that pay homage to their style, but the unvarnished directness and formal flatness of these late-career works also reflect artists he may not have been aware of, such as Horace Pippin and the immigrant John Kane, born in Scotland to Irish parents.
Proving the painting's flatness with frontal shapes or solid stripes must have seemed superfluous or monotonous to him; he wanted movement; he wanted your eyes to dance and skitter across the painting, where the ground might be mottled or solid, where the shifts of color and surface pull you closer, where the space between the planes and vibrate or smolder, where color intensities vary considerably.
Its focus on the use of color during a decade marked by Clement Greenberg's advocacy of the reflexive flatness of Color Field painting, which ultimately led to the dematerialization of the object, would seem to invite every manner of curatorial crisis, from academicism to superficiality to solipsism, and Breslin did state in his opening remarks from the podium that the show could have easily tumbled into disaster.
While there are still those who would gloss over the considerable debt owed by the School of Paris to African and Oceanic art in the development of Western Modernism, it should be remembered that when European artists replaced centuries' old naturalism with the vivid color schemes and pictorial flatness typical of non-Western forms, they were influenced as much by Asian art as they were from African.
As you can see, Apple is reiterating what it previously told The Verge last month: any slight bends are a result of the iPad Pro's manufacturing and cooling process, and the company seems to suggest that so long as any "subtle deviations in flatness" aren't perceptible during normal scenarios — meaning when you're facing the iPad head on and actually using it — they shouldn't be a concern to customers.
Colman approaches Elizabeth with the same clipped cadence and restrained flatness that Foy brought to the part, even though viewers have recently seen her play another British monarch with so much bombast and melodrama that it won her the Oscar: If anything proves that Colman is a versatile actress, it is seeing her swerve from The Favourite's petulant, barking Queen Anne into the staid and solid Queen Elizabeth.
Whereas Noland's internal shapes underscore the painting's overall shape, and Stella's use of the protractor echoes the painting's shape and emphasizes the stability of the form and the flatness of the plane, Valledor's work from the 1960s deliberately establishes a tension between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional through its illusionism, while lines suggested by the contours of the directional shapes point to an unknown space — the reality beyond the painting's borders.
And yet though Jordan occupies a different universe from Joshua, who was institutionalized at 11 and will remain so for the rest of his life, the two universes are coextensive, and faint echoes of my brother's far more severe or "classical" autism can been perceived in the slight flatness of Jordan's voice and affect, the strangely mechanical way he walks or chews his food, the compulsive intensity with which he applies himself to daily tasks.
Not that "Mountains and Sea," in which Frankenthaler suffused the canvas's fibers with oil paint thinned to the consistency of watercolor, would be any less of a personal breakthrough if it weren't hijacked by a predetermined reductionist narrative — but it is useful to keep in mind the paradox that, in the context of the time, the "possible" was envisioned as a narrowing of one's sights (towards an ideal of flatness) rather than a cracking-open of the pictorial imagination.
In each house she or someone like her was in her bed, sleeping or pretending to sleep; legal guardians were farther down the hall, large men snoring; the faces and poses in the family photographs on the mantel might change, but would all belong to the same grammar of faces and poses; the elements of the painted scenes might vary, but not the level of familiarity and flatness; if you opened any of the giant stainless-steel refrigerators or surveyed the faux-marble islands, you would encounter matching, modular products in slightly different configurations.
Finely observed but never precious, they're a thrilling demonstration of artistic self-reflection undertaken for its own sake — particularly a sequence that starts with an image of a photo of James Joyce taped to a foggy window and ends with the back of James Caan's neck on a Trinitron TV. Opening this weekend at 5) Gavin Brown's palatial establishment on West 127th Street is a show of balletic nudes in green fields and huge new landscapes roiling with stormy energy by the 92-year-old master of slick painterly flatness, Alex Katz (through Aug. 3).
