John Haber reviews two exhibitions: Ronnie Landfield: Structure and Color at Stephen Haller Gallery (through October 15, 2011) and Carrie Moyer: Canonical (through October 16, 2011) at CANADA.

Haber writes: "Both [artists] work in acrylic and let it flow, big time. One can contemplate its color and other pleasures, or one can dive in to look for representation. With Moyer that means women and other creatures, with Ronnie Landfield landscape. Neither rests on irony, and yet both are looking back. Only looking back gets trickier all the time."
