Barbara Rose, who has died aged 84, was an art historian, curator, critic, filmmaker and pioneer in several fields of scholarship, ranging from the art of Romanesque Spain to contemporary Minimalism.
She championed the history of American art, and her first book, American Art since 1900: A Critical History (1967) was published in fourteen languages. In the 1960s and 70s her “ABC Art”, published in Art in America in October 1965, was recognised as a pivotal text; comparing the ideas of Kasimir Malevich and Marcel Duchamp, she examined the evolution of those American artists who were soon to be labelled Minimalists – among them Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Frank Stella, Richard Tuttle and Andy Warhol.

This week’s art picks include an artist who connects his parent’s past trauma to his own L.A. childhood, a under-known surrealist artist who paints ghostly orbs and leering animals, and an exhibition of paintings made while recovering from COVID-19.
A new series of figurative paintings and drawings by LA-native Elmer Guevara is on view at Residency Art in Inglewood. Guevara’s parents fled El Salvador for Los Angeles in the 1980s, a decade before the artist was born, and the exhibition muses on what inherited traumas influenced the artist himself amid his Angeleno childhood. Across the paintings, ghostly imprints and shadows imply a resurfacing of past memories, while Lakers jerseys and McDonalds boxes plant the work in the present. In several pieces, painted imagery climbs across the figure’s arms, like tattoos that hold montages of past formative memories. “Passed onto Him” is a portrait of the artist’s parents holding young Guevara as a swaddled baby
