This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Marianne Stockebrand, the curator of “Donald Judd: The Multicolored Works” and the former director of the Chinati Foundation. The program was taped before a live audience at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, where “The Multicolored Works” is on view through January 4.

This is the first museum exhibition to focus on Judd’s use of color, and more specifically Judd’s use of color in the 1980s, when he discovered a process that enabled a new kind of sculpture. “The Multicolored Works” includes 23 Judd sculptures as well as works on paper and collages from the collection of the Judd Foundation that reveal Judd’s creative process. The gorgeous exhibition is a shoo-in to rank highly on critics’ year-end top-ten lists.

This detail of an untitled 1962 work in the collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is Judd’s final painting. Stockebrand and host Tyler Green discussed this work — in particular its being a typical mature Judd in that the artist limited himself to a palette of two colors— on this week’s show.

Among the topics Stockebrand and host Tyler Green discussed is how Judd arrived at colors. In an essay Judd wrote just before his death, “Some Aspects of Color in General and Red and Black in Particular,” Judd wrote about how important this Roger van der Weyden Crucifixion (ca. 1460) at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was to him (Judd briefly lived in Philadelphia in 1947 and remembered the painting from that time): “The colors I remember are blue, not soft, and red, high and slightly rosy. In my present vocabulary, they are similar to RAL-Farben 3027, Himbeerrot, and RAL-5013.”

As Stockebrand pointed out on this week’s program, Judd wasn’t trying to copy those colors in his painting — to him they remained stolidly van der Weyden’s — but to depart from them. Pictured here are the van der Weyden and RAL-3027, the exact appearance of which may vary widely depending on your screen. At the bottom is an untitled 1989 Judd piece which may have been informed by the van der Weyden’s red. It may not be a RAL-3027-colored work/

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Eric Fischl. His new memoir “Bad Boy,” co-written with Michael Stone, has just been published by Crown. In the book, Fischl talks about growing up on Long Island, his mother’s alcoholism and suicide, his discovery of art, his meteoric rise in the New York art world during the cocaine-fueled 1980s, how he was motivated to become sober and how his travels and life experiences have fueled his work in the decades since.

The first painting is Fischl’s 2000 The Bed, The Chair, Jet Lag, one of his best paintings of the 2000s.On this week’s MAN Podcast, Fischl and host Tyler Green discuss this painting, its light, that marvelous chair and its relationship to Andre Derain’s great 1907 Bathers at the Museum of Modern Art.

Images of many of his paintings and sculptures are on his website.

It’s a strikingly good read. Art students and young artists, no matter whether they’re painters or ardent conceptualists, will find it particularly interesting: Fischl talks about the process of figuring out how to become — and remain — an artist with candor and insight.

This is a detail from Bathers (1982), one of Fischl’s paintings on glassine, a thin, smooth type of paper. On this week’s show, Fischl explains to host Tyler Green how is work on glassine helped him develop his signature style and subject matter.

Fischl was one of the most prominent American painters to emerge in New York in the 1980s. He was featured in a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1986, just four years after his first solo gallery show. Since then he’s been the subject of exhibitions at the Walker Art Center, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Musee Cantonal des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne, at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, the Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld and more.
