Paul Behnke blogs images from the exhibition Ted Faiers, Flat Space: Paintings and Works on Paper 1953-56 at David Lusk Gallery, Memphis, on view through January 28, 2012.

Behnke writes that "Faiers (1908 – 1985) was a Canadian by birth. After a short period in New York he moved to Memphis, TN and taught at the Memphis Academy of Art from 1952 – 1977. The works in this exhibition span a three year period that saw Faiers focus on a clean cut abstraction that recalls Klee, Stuart Davis and early American Modernism."
