Critic Pits AARON against Matisse

● 05/03/2024
“The line, when regarded close up, does not have the sweeping fluency or charm of the human hand, of a Matisse, for instance, whom some of the linear portraits seem to be channelling.”
– Critic Lilly Wei, conducting a close reading of the linework of AARON, late American artist Harold Cohen’s painting software. Taking stock of his Whitney retrospective, Wei concludes Cohen’s computer paintings “are animated by texture, touch, and the glow of colour, and better for it, so human artistry isn’t obsolete yet.”
