“Biala and Brustlein” Exhibition
Tibor de Nagy Gallery
This event has ended.
A two-person exhibition of paintings by American artist Biala (1903 - 2000) and her husband Daniel Brustlein (1904 – 1996). The exhibition will be the first time the gallery explores the paintings of her lesser-known husband and their fertile creative life together.
The exhibition will comprise a group of oil paintings, many of Paris where the couple lived for over fifty years, starting in 1947. Others depict figures, including a double portrait by Brustlein seated with his wife on a bench in a landscape.
Biala, whose painting career spanned most of the 20th Century, developed a style that was a synthesis of the intimacy and light often associated with early French Modernism, and the painterly directness and active brush strokes of Abstract Expressionism. Brustlein’s paintings are likewise, direct, simplified, but often have a greater emphasis on the geometry of the architecture of Paris.
