Sharon Butler blogs about two exhibitions – Don't Look Now at Zach Feuer in New York (closed) and New Image Painting at Shane Campbell Gallery, Chicago (August 23 – October 4, 2014).

Butler writes that both shows "[suggest] that a renewed interest in traditional genres–portrait, still life, landscape–is thriving within the painting community… That galleries are positioning a new kind of painting to replace what they (and many critics) see as a tired form of abstraction is a salutary development and very different from the days when the objectness of Minimalism, performance, installation, and electronic media challenged painting."
