About the Item
Louis Schanker was an important early American modernist painter. He was best known for his work of the 30's and 40's done in a semi-abstract mode that was influenced by European modernism. In 1938, Mr. Schanker joined Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb and other artists in a group known as ''The 10.'' They protested against the prevailing currents of regionalism and realism in American art. The Whitney Museum of American Art, then a stronghold of realist styles, was a particular target. Today the Whitney has 11 works by Schanker in its permanent collection.

Price was one of the youngest of the first generation Abstract Expressionist circle of painters working in New York after WWII. Though only in his late twenties he began exhibiting in 1948 in New York at Hugo, Bodely, Iolas and Egan galleries. In a 1949, showing at Peridot galleries, Price was hailed for his breakthrough "Maze Series." A complex interweaving of organic shapes, automatic in nature and sometimes resembling bones or body parts, the "Maze" paintings exuded a pulsating energy that brought him critical acclaim. He received rave reviews in Art Digest, the New York Times and the New York Tribune. Price's earliest work was biomorphic or surrealist in nature, influenced by the automatism of Andre Breton and his school. By 1946, his work began to move away from this style to an all-over, decentralized style which became the "Maze" works and ultimately AbEx works which saw their culmination in the "Black Warrior" series. When the "Club" was started, Price was invited to join and forged close relationships with other members of the New York School including Fritz Bultman, Giorgio Cavallon, Weldon Kees, Bradley Walker Tomlin...Category
