Norman Lewis "Abstract Expressionist Drawings, 1945-1978"
Michael Rosenfeld Gallery
This event has ended.
"Norman Lewis: Abstract Expressionist Drawings, 1945-1978" will include fourteen works on paper from four decades; each drawing has been selected for its distinctive use of line and color. Lewis's abstractions vary from barely detectable representations of people in their environments to apparent nonobjectivity. Noted scholar Ann Gibson writes in the exhibition catalogue Norman Lewis: Black Paintings, "Like other abstract expressionists, Lewis rose to the challenge of his time by wringing from line and color metaphorical potential, a potential, however, that whose impact was to be impervious to verbal translation. The payoff was to be meaning on a universal scale."
