PAINT THINGS' is off the wall - The Boston Globe

Painting is the linchpin of art history. That’s why some thrill and some bristle when artists spit in its eye. We expect a painting to hang flat on a wall, to have a discrete rectangular surface, usually framed. We expect a picture. That format invites a particular interaction, in which we imaginatively enter the space it offers us. In “PAINT THINGS: beyond the stretcher” at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, the paintings spill out of bounds into our space.
