JERRY SALTZ hits back . . with a definite on-your-mark take, for . . young JORDAN CASTEEL.<\/p>\n

and bye the way, though he’s slow and sexist, in the wrong way !! Jerry has one very<\/em> big claim to fame – he turned everybody onto CARROLL DUNHAM, way<\/em> before his daughter, and seemingly his paintings come-to-life !! LENA DUNHAM . . made such huge media waves. I still remember reading an early review he wrote on Carroll Dunham, must have been decades ago, it stuck in my mind like . . . bubble gum under a school desk.
\nJerry Saltz: bumble, bumble, stumble & . . . hit !!<\/p>\n

not quite, stung by a bee – but, still . .
\nbumble, bumble, stumbled on it, COUNTS !!<\/p>\n

art critic JERRY SALTZ hits up, thumbs up !!<\/em> – JORDAN CASTEEL’S 2nd solo show at Sargent’s Daughters on the Lower East Side, up thru . . NOV 15, 2015.
\noften labelled a ‘lounge critic’ for his fondness for all things naked, esp women & even more so, with a horrible focus on anything with their exposed & blown-up . . private parts !! !! and a contrarian, worn-out – slightly whining & very annoying . . public stand stand for politically correct, art world neglected subjects . . as in women<\/em> artists, and artists . . “of color”.
\nmemo to Jerry:
\nart is not<\/em> a democracy, Jerry . . it’s a meritocracy.
\nskills, vision . . trump gender and race. <\/p>\n

all of which, might have been how Jerry first got turned onto this young female, Yalie’s work, which was<\/strong> formerly focused on strong, no-holds barred portraits of naked black men . . a young black, African-American is prob the better term, woman artist painting young African American males, often harsh in vision, harsh in painterly expression, often explicit . . wow !! all the Jerry elements bundled up – in one sentence !! <\/p>\n

but, although it seems an obvious choice for him: nakedness, woman artist, ‘minority’ woman artist, ‘minority’ subjects, Yalie, Harlem studio, figurative, etc etc – he did<\/em> in fact stumble upon – a true blue vein of creative vision.
\ngo, JERRY !!!!<\/p>\n

take the time to get into that gallery website to contrast Jordan’s first show – with this one. she really took the ball, of opportunity – that was thrown at her . . . and ran with it. a great show !! a big leap in maturity, artistic\/plastic interest and above all: VISION and . . WARMTH !!
\na big evolution – in just 2 years !!
\ngo, Jordan !!<\/p>\n
