Summary: "Out" of the "In" Crowd
Comment: This book is an overdue shaft of light on the life and work of an artist who not only displayed intense emotions in a style skimming the edge of representation, but who also scaled the conceptual depths of what constituted painting, writing and sculpture. Admirers of Duchamp, Rauschenberg, Johns, early Pop Art, Katz, and the New Image and Neo-Expressionists of the seventies and eighties will marvel at seeing all but Duchamp antedated by many years. Though a close friend of Avery and Rothko, familiar with the Abstract Expressionists, Putnam somehow was left standing at the gate. The only regret is the limited coverage of his long marriage to his more famous wife, Consuelo Kanaga, a pioneering photographer. If you distrust the way history picks and chooses its favorites, this is the book to place on the shelf next to Avery, whose best paintings look tame next to Wallace Putnam's, and Rothko, who seemed mired in one overly serious mode for too many years. Putnam was inventive, spiritual, humorous, and a survivor.
