Whitney Kimball reviews Sarah McEneaney: New Work at Tibor de Nagy, New York, on view through March 10, 2012.
Kimball writes: "Throughout Sarah McEneaney's modest-sized egg tempera paintings... we find a singular tourist: a middle-aged woman in water shoes, a bike helmet, rectangular glasses, sketchbook in hand, often surrounded by cats. Her sunny landscapes and idyllic country living rooms throw a brightly-colored wrench into all standards of reticent, high art taste."
