Jessica Eaton, the artist of the abstract photograph from her “Cubes for Albers and LeWitt” series, gave an intriguing, energetic, and informative artist’s talk here at Alfred University earlier today (21.ii.2013).

Based on the tags of the Tumblr source image, I assume the image on the left is also related to Hyères, Eaton is one of the artists in the “Decenter: an exhibition on the centenary of the Armory Show” exhibition at the Abrons Arts Center of the Henry Street Settlement in New York City. Another work in that show paired a number of the artists with historic figures. Eaton (born 1977) was paired with Marsden Hartley (1877-1943), having been born on his centenary.
