New York Magazine To Do: July 2-16, 2014 Art 3. See Walter Robinson: Figure Studies Is it the shoes? One of the most respected and loved members of the New York art world, the artist and former editor of Artnet, Walter Robinson is also a fluid painter of the American scene. He pulls images from TV, film, and—in this lovely show—ads from newspapers, magazines, and department stores like JCPenney. In his pictures of happy shiny women modeling so-so clothes, his color is scrumptious, especially in the apple-red Lands’ End boots—a nod to Van Gogh’s existential painting of weathered shoes. —Jerry Saltz LYNCH THAM, through July 13. nymag/arts/all/to-do-2014-6-30/
