HERMAN BAS


ART:
Herman Bas: New large-scale paintings by the 31-year-old subject of a Brooklyn Museum retrospective. These paintings are larger and more epic than many of his earlier portrait paintings. Highlight: the sprawling, gothic Ubu Roi, based on the absurdist theater of Alfred Jarry, with a few Hans Christian Andersen references strewn here and there.NYMAG
