Robert Kulicke "Painting"
Adam Baumgold Gallery (40 E 75th St.)
This event has ended.
The exhibition will feature a selection of 18 of Kulicke's paintings from the late 50's through the 80's; intimate still lifes of his signature subjects including flowers, fruit, vessels, and dollar bills. Throughout his career, Kulicke focused on small scale paintings executed in a meticulous yet effortless hand. Robert Kulicke studied painting with Fernand Léger, and credited Morandi with inspiring him to choose the modest subjects that became his vehicle of expression. His works reference a history that includes Dutch still life painting and Impressionism, while quietly upholding the Modernist value of "pure painting."
The works are presented in the artist's own handmade frames. An expert in gilding, jewelry making, and traditional craftsmanship, Kulicke's technical ability drew equally the Medieval art he studied and the Modernists who made up his circle.
