	Sean Scully
		By juxtaposing Scully's painting vis-a-vis photography and other works on paper, the exhibition shows how certain motifs of concrete, visible reality— such as walls, windows, and doors Ð are transported from photographs to paintings, as well as how certain colors and hues are transported from paintings to photographs.
		Scully's work derived from the traditions of European early modernism (Mondrian and Matisse), in its ideals for harmony and spirituality, and American late modernism (Pollock and Rothko), in its urge for large, open-ended compositions, expressing personal inner states.
		Sean Scully was born in Dublin in 1945.

		Scully's nomadic wanderings in search of the façades and surfaces, the colors and shapes that speak to him of human hands and the passage of time have taken him to the Dominican Republic, England, Ireland, the Scottish Isles, Germany, Mexico, Morocco, Spain, and the United States.
		The photographs that Scully made, once he had found what he was looking for as a painter in the eighties, were of kindred structures in what the philosopher Husserl designated the Lebenswelt - the world of the everyday and the commonplace, where experience begins and against which it must be checked.
		Sean Scully was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1945.

	Sean Scully (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Born in Dublin in 1945, Scully was inspired by paintings he saw in a local church and decided at a young age to become a painter.
		Scully’s work is deeply concerned with colour, light and beauty, and looks to engage its viewer in a reflection on the meaning of presence and being.
		The paintings are intended to remind the viewer of, in the artist’s terms, ‘the brutality of reality’ and of the ‘fact that we are physical…my paintings begin with that premise’.

		Scully returned to and consolidated the Wall of Light motif in 1998, when he began to concentrate on architecturally-scaled oil paintings that present the viewer with a grid of differently-coloured bars and stripes.
		Scully had never visited Las Vegas before and the commercialism, soullessness and distorted scale of the city (its ‘plastic Egypt’ and its ‘cardboard Camelot’) appalled him.

	Sean Scully - Red and Red
		Powerfully physical, Scully’s works have special and personal significance for the artist, as he uses a limited range of formal devices such as stripes and blocks to convey his responses to his environment.
		Scully combines horizontal and vertical stripes; fl and white horizontal bands are juxtaposed with brick-red vertical stripes, calling attention to the tensions between them and their interplay, but achieving a very precise balance within the work.
		Scully was inspired by Mark Rothko’s atmospheric use of layered color, the way the separations between blocks of color reveal the space and color underneath.

		Sean Scully, who was born in Ireland in 1945, lives in New York, Barcelona and London.
		Scully groups his picture elements in an alternating order and thus constructs monumental yet subtle picture arrangements in which the contrast of figure and ground is largely neutralized.
		Following the retrospectives of the works of Frank Stella, Imi Knoebel and Robert Ryman, the Haus der Kunst, with this exhibition of Sean Scully, is continuing the theme of important milestones of non-objective painting of the second half of the twentieth century.

	Exposition Sean Scully
		Sean Scully tries to give to abstraction the kinds of association and nuances that have previously only been found in figurative art.
		Sean Scully has a "craftsman" side ; he reminds me of a "Compagnon du Tour de France" : he uses traditional techniques (this is so rare...), gives pre-eminence to a strict form, and only after that does he let his fantasy delicately express itself inside the limits he has carefully set up.
		Thus Sean Scully seems to come close to the masters of still life (especially from 17th and 18th centuries) when it was important to symbolize through some details (faded flowers, etc...) the inescapable wear given by Time and the great cyclic movement of the World.

		In Sean Scully’s recent paintings, we can also find that the intersections between the rectangular shapes collide and “bleed” from their grounds within the picture plane.

		That Scully's paintings constitute "high art" is one sure sign of the death of predetermining hierarchies of high and low culture.
		The Irishman Scully gained renown in the international art world in the early '80s, during another rejuvenation of the ever-declining, ever-renewing medium.
		Scully's promise to "transcribe the interplay of light and shadow on the stacked stones of ancient ruins and architectural formations in Mexico" goes unmet, as this work seems spatial only insomuch as we deem swatches of blue underneath white paint to suggest depth and the refraction of sunlight.

		Scully's a Modernist painter, balls to bones, but despite his success, he still knows it's a dirty word.
		Obviously, although Sean and others perhaps see a need to eschew the name, modernism has carried on as it has since the beginning, generating the best work of our time (although it has had to, for the most part, carry on in the shadows).
		In history– the masters as Scully says were in fact devoted to their craft, and in making disciples that in turn become masters of their craft.

	SEAN SCULLY: WALL OF LIGHT By JAMES GARDNER - New York Post Online Edition: Seven
		Inspired by visits to Mexico, Scully considered the sunlight and shadow playing against the boldly colored adobe walls of the local buildings as a kind of muse for the works in this exhibition, the artist's first in an American museum.
		They reveal Scully to belong to that line of abstract artists who have consecrated their lives to a single idea, whose variations have fascinated them for decades on end.
		In Scully's case it is broad and serried bands of color that have a human touch to them, achieved through the slightest wobble in the boundaries that separate the zones of his paintings.

		Far from being illustrations, Scully describes these connections with literature as more like an immersion of himself into the text or as a means of allowing the text to be his “companion” as he creates his work.
		In the Munich Mirrors series (named after city where Scully now teaches) Scully can be seen to be exploring duality as a metaphor for the pathos of our efforts to create matches out of elements, which do not quite align.
		Scully does not seek to achieve harmony in his work.
