Lorna Simpson at the Metropolitan Museum — haunted missives from the subconscious

‘These two portal paintings, both from 2015 and both juxtaposing the bestial and the refined, mark Simpson’s abrupt departure from the conceptualist photographs that made her famous. Lushly executed, psychologically unnerving, haunted and sensual, they read as missives from the subconscious.’
