Perhaps it is even more so today because we live in a purely materialist and literal one-dimensional culture that would deny meaning and content to art other than the basest and most obvious forms of propaganda or decoration. In the context of the goal that painting sets for itself today, an artist like Don Kimes exhibits an exemplary tenacity and courage in confronting the limitations as well as the potential of the pictorial.

The viewer is drawn to Kimes’ huge canvases by their color and bold shapes, laid on in semi- transparent layers that give them an intriguing depth. . .Kimes, head of American University’s art department, makes it all perfectly clear in the exhibit brochure: ‘Do I have rules? Yes. But I have to see past them. Usually I end up sacrificing the idea for the painting. I’ve got to recognize daylight when it happens.’ Hank Burchard (Critic, Washington Post) WETA Television Broadcast Around Town, Washington, D.C.
