About the Item

As a student of Hans Hofmann (one biographer says she was one of his star pupils), Rothschild’s works reflect a woman who was immersed in the vanguard of abstraction in America at a pivotal moment, just as it was becoming airborne. Rothschild (1921-1993) was born to a wealthy Jewish family in New York. Following her graduation from Wellesley in 1943, Rothschild studied at the Art Students League with Reginald Marsh, at Stanley William Hayter’s Atelier 17, and with Hans Hofmann and Karl Knaths. Recognized as a gifted and precocious abstract painter, in 1945 she became a member of the Jane Street group, which included artists Leland Bell, Nell Blaine, Jane Freilicher, and Larry Rivers, and which promoted pure abstraction and rejected Social Realism Her first solo exhibition was held at their space, Jane Street Gallery, in December 1945. She would also go on to co-found the noted Long Point Gallery in Provincetown with others including Robert Motherwell and Paul Resika. During the 1950s and early 1960s, Rothschild moved from her initial abstract, geometric style to landscape and figurative painting. In her later paintings, she synthesized abstract elements with representational forms, often drawing from and alluding to mythology and literature. In the 1970s, Rothschild cultivated an artistic practice centered around analogies between colors and music, evoking melodic harmony and dissonance through various color combinations. These work would seem to reflect that change in direction. Her work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, among others. This work is registered with the Rothschild Foundation.
