Blue for You 1981
Lines of Resolution The Menil Collection, Houston 2025

Lines of Resolution: Drawing at the Advent of Television and Video explores the relationship between drawing, television, and video from the late 1950s into the 1980s. Personal electronics became widely available during this era and soon made their way into artists’ studios. These electric screens became a source of artistic imagery, a surface for inscription, and a device that could be manipulated to generate entirely new kinds of drawing. This exhibition features works by twenty-five artists, including drawings, video, mixed media sculpture, and an immersive installation.

…..Anne Bean and Dov Eylath used the chroma key technique to layer and merge their faces, using processes of erasure and blending to negotiate interpersonal power dynamics. Lines of Resolution catalogue
