Caleb De Jong reviews the exhibition Edwin Dickinson In Retrospect at Babcock Galleries, New York, on view through January 27, 2011.

De Jong writes: "Warm despite the preponderance of grey, Dickinson practiced an immediate form of painting in the smaller paintings, many of which can be viewed at Babcock… Painted quickly and in one sitting, these paintings were greatly admired by the Abstract Expressionists."
