“The Meadow, East Hampton” withstands both the grandeur of its antecedents in 19th century French landscape and the pull of its own time. While modernity asserts itself in the austerity of a deceptively simple composition, the tonal refinement of an older palette marks the scene’s emotional tenor. Delectable greens and the drama of definitive forms against a light backdrop occur like an incremental refrain throughout York’s work. Variations on the approach serve beautifully in the botanically fanciful “Landscape with Two Tropical Trees,” (1986) and the glorious “Geranium,” (1975). In each, tonal contrasts, sensuously laid in, lead your eye through the complete unfolding of deeply felt natural forms. (http://www.maureenmullarkey.com/essays/york_feltus.html)
