So glad Porter is having a moment. Suddenly I'm immersed in him - just read the catalogue essays & just got his collection of writings "Art in Its Own Terms". Now I'm waiting on the arrival of an earlier catalogue "Realist Painter in an Age of Abstraction". Thank you for your own review of the show.
That's pretty sad. I'm starting to write myself about these postwar artists that were overshadowed by the AbEx painters. They deserve more recognition!
So insanely useful bit of writing on this. Thank you
Really appreciate your review and perspective. Thank you.

He's definitely having a moment. But his work remains in the basement of places like The Farnsworth Museum. Thanks for reading!

Thank you for this! I adore his landscapes and I’ll make a point of catching the show later this month!
