Charles Hinman's solo exhibition Charles Hinman: Structures, 1965-2014 at the Kreeger Museum is featured in the Washington City Paper.

 

"Postwar painters took nothing for granted, not even the shape of the canvas. From Frank Stella to Elizabeth Murray, the pioneers of shaped painting abandoned the familiar rectangle to explore alternative geometries. Shaped canvas represents its own branch of painting’s evolutionary tree. Along the way, some creators edged out others. Ellsworth Kelly is a household name. Charles Hinman got left behind."
