Marcia Hafif Wall Paintings: “After hanging the monochrome paintings together on walls in a traditional manner I chose to make independent paintings each related to the wall alone. One painting in casein covered a 35 x 10 foot wall, another on canvas was longer than the wall as it was divided in three parts, still others fit the space floor to ceiling. In addition each presented a different medium or technique: casein, oil, encaustic, glaze, egg tempera.”; 1. Wall Painting: Prussian Blue, Julian Pretto Gallery, 1975, 2. Wall Painting: Red and Green, MoCA Chicago, 1977, 3. Wall Painting: Grayed Cobalt Blue, Sonnabend Gallery, NY, 1975, 4.

Marcia Hafif (1929 – 2018) was an American painter born in Pomona, California.

Exhibiting for more than eight years with Sonnabend Gallery in Soho and Paris, she developed series of paintings that would become the basis of what came to be called The Inventory: 1974, Mass Tone Paintings; 1975, Wall Paintings; 1976, Pencil Drawings; 1978, Neutral Mix Paintings; 1979, Broken Color Paintings at The Clocktower with Alanna Heiss; 1981, Black Paintings. During this time she also published articles on painting in Artforum: “Beginning Again” in 1978, and in Art in America: “Getting on With Painting,” 1981, and “True Colors,” in 1989.

"The ongoing question with monochromatic painting has to do with the contemplation of a deliberately circumscribed object, whose resonance depends as much if not more on the context of available light and space. It is not so much a matter of dismantling color, even though the single unity of hue lends itself to what might be experienced as a constricted expression. That, however, doesn’t hold true for those who experience these accomplished paintings as real efforts to preserve color from the point of view of a purist expression. By historically linking her work to the past, Hafif shows her audience just how effectively contemporary art can connect with aspects of historical painting production. 

This connection not only concerns the technical media the artist so clearly explains, it also brings back to past to the present, which strikes the audience as a brave thing to do given the ubiquity of art that is neither well made nor interested in art’s history. In some cases, darker-hued paintings are put together, while in others lighter colors are joined. With daylight filling the room from the gallery’s street window, one has the chance to view the works in both natural and artificial light, which represent two very different experiences. Hafif, who is in her mid-80s and who is currently working on her archives, deserves attention for this elegant, accomplished exhibition."
