Xico Greenwald reviews Aubrey Levinthal: Refrigerator Paintings on view at The Painting Center, New York, through January 28, 2017.

Greenwald writes: “Milk jugs and the condiments in the icebox are arranged into formally rigorous compositions that show off Ms. Levinthal’s feel for paint… her unpretentious canvases of everyday subjects dialogue with modern masters, particularly School of Paris artists… Though the artworks here are fun, even funny, Ms. Levinthal’s achievement is profound. After all, translating the human experience into compelling works of art is what painting has always been all about.”
