About the Item
Abstract modern expressionist painting by American modernist artist, Jules Olitski. This painting features heavy textures formed by multiple layers of paint. Framed in a modern floating frame. Signed, dated, and titled at the back.
Artist Biography: Olitski was born in Gomel, Russia and lived in New York from age two. He took American nationality when serving in the United States army during the Second World War. He studied at the National Academy of Design, New York 1940-2, then, aided by the GI Bill, continued his studies in Paris, at the Ossip Zadkine School in 1949 and at the Académie de la Grande Chaumiére 1949-50. He had a solo show at the Galerie Huit in 1950, and as a result was invited to exhibit with the Cobra group. However, he returned to America where he continued to develop a painting style that had links with both Parisian informel painting and American Abstract Expressionism. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from New York University in 1952, and a Master of Arts in 1954.
In the late 1950s Olitski became friends with the influential American art critic Clement Greenberg and in 1958 exhibited in a group show at French & Co (a gallery for which Greenberg was a consultant). The show included such artists as Morris Louis, Barnett Newman, Kenneth Noland and David Smith. In 1960 Olitski began to pour and stain dye onto large canvases. He experimented with different methods of applying paint, using brushes, sponges, mops and rollers. From 1965 he began to spray paint onto his canvases in order to create dematerialised fields of colour. During these years, when he was at the height of his fame and influence, he participated in several important group exhibitions including the Carnegie International, Pittsburgh (1961), Formalists at the Washington Gallery of Modern Art (1963), Three New American Painters at Norman Mackenzie Art Gallery, Regina, Canada (1963), and the 1966 Venice Biennale.
Olitski taught at C.W. Post College, Long Island University, New York from 1956 to 1963, and at Bennington College, Vermont from 1963 to 1967. He had his first solo museum exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington DC, in 1967, and in 1969 was given his first sculpture show by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the first solo exhibition given by that museum to a living American artist. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston held a retrospective exhibition in 1973. His work since the 1980s has seen a return to the heavily textured surfaces of his early paintings.

Jules Olitski
Jules Olitski was an abstract Color Field painting in the mid-1960s, Olitski focused on the material qualities of surface and color in painting, rather than the personal expression of the artist. He pioneered a technique using an industrial spray gun to lightly apply paint on unprimed canvas, creating an effect of hazy color suspended midair. Even after returning to the brush, Olitski maintained this airy interaction of color and light. Olitski represented the United States in the 1966 Venice Biennale, and was given the first solo exhibition for a living American artist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1969.

- Doledrum ( Industrial Environmental PollutionLocated in Miami, FLOut of many come one. A huge back mountain is formed out of scores of gas spewing smokestacks. The foreboding back mass fills most of the pictorial area. As one gets closer to the canvas, the complexity of the mass if revealed in low on contrast as we see the diverse variety of the stacks with accompanying petrochemical architecture. Above the stacks, plums of air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides rise gracefully into the atmosphere. The artist focuses less on the by-product of the stacks and more on his giant pollution machine that he has so astutely rendered. The work is mostly monochromatic but the artist has indicted a red tonality of a sunset/sunrise that offsets the charcoal blacks and grays. ______________________________________________ Submitted by Tamarind Institute Ian Davis...Category
