ART LTD REVIEW
RUTH WEISBERG: NOW & THEN & CLAIRE FALKENSTEIN: AN EXPANSIVE UNIVERSE by Peter Frank
Born near the beginning of the last century, Claire Falkenstein had established herself as a dynamic avant gardist by time she moved to Los Angeles in 1963. Two generations younger, Ruth Weisberg came to LA only six years later, more or less at the beginning of her career, already developing the classically based figuration she has practiced ever since...

Falkenstein at Rutberg Gallery by Sharon Mizota
Although she counted luminaries such as Clyfford Still and Jean Dubuffet among her associates, Claire Flakenstein (1908-97) has received little recognition. This show went a long way toward rectifying her omission from the art-historical pantheon, presenting 33 paintings and sculptures made between 1939 and 1981...

LOS ANGELES TIMES REVIEW
Claire Falkenstein at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts by David Pagel
At Jack Rutberg Fine Arts, “Claire Falkenstein: An Expansive Universe” is a treasure trove of idiosyncratic gems by an artist who was once well known in the U.S. and Europe but is not currently thought of as an integral part of Los Angeles art history. That may change. In any case, don’t miss this opportunity to see 33 works Falkenstein (1908-1997) made from 1939 to 1981...

PASADENA ART NEWS REVIEW
L.A. Raw offers a dark slice of art history in Pasadena by Michelle J. Mills
The heyday of the Los Angeles art scene is often thought to be centered around the Ferus Gallery and its contingent of pop and abstract artists in the 1960s.
There was a dark side; the art often was obsessed with political and social issues.
Curator Michael Duncan assembled works that illustrate the light and the dark in "L.A. Raw: Abject Expressionism in Los Angeles 1945-1980, From Rico Lebrun to Paul McCarthy" at the Pasadena Museum of California Art. The exhibit opens Sunday and is part of the Getty Foundation's ongoing initiative "Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980"...

THE DE LOFFRE POST REVIEW
Hans Burkhardt's Magnificent Journey by Rene de Loffre
In the mid-1940’s at LACMA’s original Exposition Park site, Hans Burkhardt’s painting, “One Way Road,” was removed from an exhibition because he used too much red paint and, well, it was deemed to be communistic. . Not strange for an era when abstract artists were sometimes suspected of being enemy agents cleverly encrypting secret military site locations into their art...

ARTILLERY MAGAZINE REVIEWS
PST On the Down Low by Peter Frank
Jack Rutberg mounted an especially thorough, if necessarily abbreviated, survey of Hans Burkhardt, proving all over again that LA had nurtured (almost despite itself) one of America’s most vital abstract expressionist painters, someone who took the seed of the movement and cultivated it a rather different way in very different soil...
Retrospective: Hans Burkhardt by Mary Woronov
Hans Burkhardt has enjoyed great acclaim in europe and New York, but here in LA he is relatively unmentioned, which is odd because he lived and taught in Los Angeles. A powerful Abstract artist, he was not satisfied with just the problems of color and paint. Like Goya, he was driven to express what he felt was unjust, whether society agreed with him or not. Certainly the painting Reagan–Blood Money (1945) was not something that was going to ingratiate him with LA’s ruling class. Nor did the blacklisting of the McCarthy era intimidate him into toning down his angry red-and-black paintings about war. These are things people want to forget but Burkhardt would not let them, because it is not good to forget. Looking at his painting, Bikini (Hydrogen Bomb) (1954), you want to stop the blast. If only we had put a leash on the military industrial complex back then instead of looking the other way, perhaps we wouldn’t still be at war...

BUREAU OF ARTS AND CULTURE REVIEW
"Hans Burkhardt Steals the Show..." at The Natural History Museum on LACMA's Early History by Josh A. Triliegi
Hans Burkhardt steals the show with his painting “Black Cloud Over Vineyard” oil painting. Employing pink, orange, black, yellow & gold telling several stories in a semi-abstract tableau. Burkhardt packs so much passion, storytelling, movement and relative subject matter into this work that one sees animals, figures and landscapes as well as a general schematic mindscape. Returning to his work more than once in a single sitting is entertaining and rewarding, it shifts shape before your very eyes...

ARTSCENE REVIEW
Burkhardt Exhibition Commands Attention by A. Moret
Beneath the ferocity of Hans Burkhardt’s exacting brushwork and application of oil paint there is an undeniable remnant of hope that appears consistently throughout the works in “Within and Beyond the Mainstream.” Burkhardt’s bold moves on the canvas are akin to the call of the Sirens, luring the viewer into the field of vision so that the artist can impregnate them with an uneasiness that begets action. A painter of modern life, Burkhardt boldly reacted to the indecencies and injustices of war. While he was censored he was never silenced...
