Becky Huff Hunter reviews Quicktime at the Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, University of the Arts, Philadelphia, on view through April 22, 2017. The show features works by Marina Adams, Amy Feldman, Ann Craven, Melissa Meyer, and Patricia Treib.

Hunter writes: “In the show, twelve recent, mostly large-scale, conventionally stretched works share fast-looking brush strokes; few visible layers of oil or acrylic; a graphic, flat appearance that emphasizes surface; and the impression—confirmed in the curatorial statement—that these paintings did not take long to make… The works in the exhibition raise the question, for me, of what it is that we value about painting right now—where we locate meaning and value in paintings made quickly.”
