Richard Pousette-Dart: East River Studio at LUHRING AUGUSTINE
Loading...
Uploaded by jameskalmroughcut on Dec 8, 2011
Organized by Christopher Wool and the artist's daughter painter Joanna Pousette-Dart, this selection of pieces were fabricated while the artist worked in a studio that had been a former brewery on East 56th street. As one of the youngest and most ambitious of the Abstract Expressionists, Pousette-Dart's decision to go big in the early 40's set the standards for the massive scale of "American Type Painting". "The sizes of my paintings in the early days were often determined by the largest roll of canvas I could afford to buy and the largest wall I could tack it on", stated the artist. Seeing these works in context exemplifies the seminal role Pousette-Dart played in the New York painting world from the early 1940s till his death in the early 1990s.

I think his paintings are amazing really. Jean Paul Riopelle , so underrated, who use to live with Joan Mitchell was great even though Joan use to throw plates at his head. But then again Lee Krasner threw plates at Jackson and Elaine at Bill - man those were the days when drunks ruled the painting world!!

great stuff. thanks,thanks,thanks.

I remember seeing a show of his paintings paired with Wols. Owls really knocked him out, despite the difference in size.
-
I don't think he holds his own against Gorky and De Kooning. Lacks power IMO.
-
Seminal maybe, but I think his paintings are dated, a bit like the school of Paris of the fifties.

I still think he's one of the most underrated Ab-Exers out there. He started young, worked hard, and painted a long time. What more could any artist ask for? (And he was good.)
