About the Item
Brodsky was a "romantic" painter, although he painted abstractly, and a master colorist. His abstract works are not "action paintings" in the sense of De Kooning or Pollock, but explorations of an interior world and mood at any given time or over the course of time. He uses color to conjure these interior worlds.
Brodsky, who died in 2019 at 93, came to abstraction relatively late in life--he often said that he struggled to throw off the figure and the horizon line--but did some of his best work late in his career, in his 80s and 90s.
"Brodsky's career unfolded on Long Island, away from the busy art scene of Manhattan, which might explain why he is not as well-known as some of his famous colleagues. Nevertheless, his work merits full consideration and rediscovery," wrote one critic.
Brodsky's last retrospective was at the Hecksher Museum in 2013. He showed often with June Kelly Gallery in NYC. In addition to the Hecksher, his work may be found in the collections of Guild Hall, East Hampton; the Parrish Museum; the Baltimore Museum of Fine Art; the Neuberger Museum; the Farnsworth; the Telfair Museum, and many other institutions. We at Lawrence Fine Art included him in our "Works in Progress" exhibition in 2016 and gave him a solo exhibition of new works in 2017.

- UntitledBy Melville PriceLocated in Lawrence, NYOil on paper Estate stamped The history of the New York School painters is still being written, but Price earned a well-deserved place from the beginning. 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
