Martha McKay Oil Painting 1974 Framed Storm American Female Artist Abstract
Located in Buffalo, NY
A moody and engaging oil on canvas painting with loads of texture and layers by American modernist artist Martha McKay.
Paris 1951 - 1956
After graduating from the Corcoran art school in Washington, D.C., in 1951, McKay relocated to Paris and enrolled in Ecole Fernand Léger. During this time, McKay produced a series of canvases inspired by Léger cubistic style. These proved to be very successful and were exhibited in several galleries in America. Her time in Paris also brought about McKay’s marriage to Thomas Barnett, a fellow Corcoran graduate and Léger student. Soon after, Barnett began painting under the name Thomas Mather. He later dropped the pseudonym. McKay and Barnett had a son while in Paris. They named him André.
After graduating from Ecole Fernand Léger, McKay began experimenting with abstract imagery: a direct influence of her newfound mentor, the French art critic Michel Tapié. Tapié’s involvement and promotion of the Japanese “Gutai...

"Untitled" From the Intimate Lighting Series c. 1975-1978
Acrylic on Paper
Signed Lower Left
Image Size: Approx 22 x 29 inches
Framed Size: Approx. 27.5 x 35.25 inches
A painter of intensely colorful abstraction, Robert Natkin does work that often runs in series including Apollo Series of the 1960s. These works, with vertical stripes alternating between thick and thin, decorative and textured, are cheerful and light, invoking the lyricism of Apollo, the Greek god of poetry and light.
Other series are titled Steps and Grids, Field Mouse, and Intimate Lighting. His painting is inspired by the color used by Henri Matisse, and Pierre Bonnard, and the Cubism of Paul Klee.
Natkin was born in Chicago and graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1952. He married painter Judith Dolnick...
