Spin by Joan Snyder
After listening to an interview about her MacArther fellowship award on The Story last year, I looked at some of Snyder’s work online and decided that this is the kind of painting I don’t like. Maybe it’s the exaggerated 1970’s feminism that seems to seep through most of her work. Maybe it’s the sloppy gesturing. Maybe her work doesn’t photograph well, and you have to see it in person to get what she’s saying. Whatever it is, I’m not getting it.
