Norman Lewis "PULSE, A Centennial Exhibition"
Michael Rosenfeld Gallery
This event has ended.
Michael Rosenfeld Gallery presents a centennial celebration of the birth of Norman Lewis (American, 1909-1979). The gallery’s third show dedicated exclusively to Lewis, Norman Lewis: Pulse features sixteen major oil paintings spanning four decades of the artist’s career (1940-1978). Representational works from the early 1940s are grounded in social realism while his signature oils—pure abstractions of calligraphic, fluid forms in saturated colors—count among the strongest images in the history of American abstraction.
