“Texas Landscape No. 3,”1959, has little to do with landscape and nothing to do with Texas.

Seeing is knowing. Seeing is a creative act.
I am well aware that what you are seeing on your computer screen is far from what is on the paper and canvas, but I hope you get the idea because ideas were essential to Don Reich and his art.
I hated green then. The color of pain. Reich used strong green in paintings he showed at the Candy Store Gallery in Folsom, California, in the 1960s, and I think I may have written a cool review because of that.
That was 50 years ago, give or take. Bill Glackin, arts editor of The Sacramento Bee, made me the art critic mainly on the basis that I told him that, growing up in Chicago, I had spent a lot of time in the Art Institute.
Aside from the green, I don’t remember much about Reich’s work at that time, but I was witness to all his production until he died at 79, still working, in 2010.
