Selected Quotes

“I was especially impressed by several big paintings that relate to the Abstract Expressionist movement that started 50 or 60 years ago and still has plenty of energy. Among the artists working this vein are Lou Bermingham, Pam Avery, Mark Eanes, Shirley Hazlett and Maxine Taylor.” – Charles Johnson on ART, Abstract 2000-2010 exhibit, Sacramento Temporary Contemporary, 2011

“I wish that I could introduce this exhibit (Taylor’s Shades of Life) with a sound of distant drums wildly beating, exploring, falling silent and thundering out.

This sophisticated exhibit  has an appeal for the primitive in us, the soul that is weary of words, of explanations, of promises.”  – Kim Robinson, 1991, Washington, DC

“…though surface and texture are of prime concern to Taylor, intersecting lines and emerging forms create a sense of space.”     “…the directness of the process and its resulting emotional impact are immediately available to the viewer.”  – Nancy Frankel, Sculptor, EyeWash, 1992, Studio Gallery, Dupont Circle

“Dancing brushwork characterizes Maxine Taylor’s painting show at the Columbia Art Center”  – Mike Giuliano, 1995

…Taylor “made use of dazzling expressions to reveal a sense of phraseology through works like Out of the Depths and Guardian which effectively state their position without succumbing to something derivative…”  – Stephen Gerard, Articulate Contemporary Art Review   Marlboro Hall Gallery, September 1996

“…Verging on the calligraphic, the painting can be thought of as speaking to us.” – Mike Giuliano, Columbia Flier, 1997

“…this combination of muted color and lacy line is one of the more lovely motifs, intentional or not, of the exhibit, also appearing in the fluid forms of Maxine Taylor’s Subterranean.” – Kristen Hileman, KOAN, 1997, KOAN Emerging Talent at MOCA, Washington DC

    It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of “culture.”
