How did Jack Whitten paint with light? Artist Julie Mehretu reflects on Whitten’s commitment to his craft, and to abstract painting as a way of creating light, in an excerpt from “Jack Whitten: The Messenger,” the book for MoMA’s major retrospective. “Whitten had an obsession with light, reflecting light, capturing light ... Across his paintings, we’re suspended in this light, which frames us in a larger picture of time," Mehretu writes. "His painting makes a physical, almost archaeological, experience—a vibration—and you can look at it forever.” Growing up in the segregated South, Whitten turned to abstract art not only as a form of creative expression but as a path to freedom. Through his obsession with light and materials, his large-scale paintings invite us into a luminous space where experience and feeling take precedence over symbols and language. His approach to abstraction offered a way of navigating the complexities of identity, history, and political struggle, creating a space for personal liberation. ??

“Making art, making something positive out of a loss, is so important.”—Betye Saar After evacuating her home and studio in January due to the Los Angeles fires, artist Betye Saar was reminded of how an earlier fire in the area influenced her art. In 1962, Saar moved to Laurel Canyon, a neighborhood affected by a devastating fire, and the sight of the burned landscape inspired her to create etchings like “The Wounded Wilderness,” using charred remains of nature and structures as symbols of resilience and healing.

How does the sense of hearing spark the imagination, and what role does it play in art? Artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller create installations, objects, and interactive works focused on sound, like the moving 2001 piece "The Forty Part Motet (A reworking of “Spem in Alium,” by Thomas Tallis 1556).” When Cardiff first heard Thomas Tallis's 16th-century choral work "Spem in Alium," she wanted to capture each voice from this complex piece. Using forty speakers, each playing a single vocal line,?allows viewers to experience the music up close and personally, to focus on one singer or to follow the whole composition. In this episode of our Art and the Senses series, the artists and MoMA Media Conservator Peter Oleksik share how two decades of installing the piece in different settings uncovered surprising emotional depth and new discoveries about how sound interacts with space.
