Marion Maneker reviews Franz Kline for Puck.
Maneker writes, "As a pocket retrospective of Kline’s apex period from 1950 to 1960—he died young, at 51 years old—the show will make you go 'Oof!' if you’re into this gut-punch style of painting. These gestural works look as if they were painted in one burst of emotion, but the show cleverly gathers studies for works like Harleman, from 1960, and Chief, from 1950, and hangs them within eyesight of the larger paintings. The finished works have a remarkable fidelity to the studies, and you can see that what appears to be an offhand, unconscious gesture is actually calculated and painstakingly executed."
