Caleb De Jong reviews the exhibition Allison Miller at Susan Inglett Gallery, New York, on view through March 3, 2012.

De Jong writes: "Slightly rough-hewn surfaces, pinks, fuschias and warm liquin blacks skillfully balances influence and intention into an easy coherence. Partaking of a tradition that stretches back to Diebenkorn's inhalation of Matisse, Allison Miller, along with other Californians Rebecca Morris and Pamela Jorden, translates European Modernism, in this instance Bauhaus Klee, into Malibu airiness."
