About the Item

Dominic Mingolla (1922 – 1999) Mingolla created paintings in many different materials and genres. Best known for his large abstract expressionist watercolor paintings similar in style to Paul Jenkins and for his Enamel work. His work bears affinities both to Lyrical Abstraction and to Tachisme artists such as Nicolas de Staël, Serge Poliakoff, Andre Lanskoy, Hans Hartung, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Gustave Singier, Alfred Manessier, Roger Bissiere, "Lyrical Abstraction arose in the 1960s and 70s, following the challenge of Minimalism and Conceptual art. Many artists began moving away from geometric, hard-edge, and minimal styles, toward more lyrical, sensuous, romantic abstractions worked in a loose gestural style. These "lyrical abstractionists" sought to expand the boundaries of abstract painting, and to revive and reinvigorate a painterly 'tradition' in American art. At the same time, these artists sought to reinstate the primacy of line and color as formal elements in works composed according to aesthetic principles – rather than as the visual representation of sociopolitical realities or philosophical theories." "Characterized by intuitive and loose paint handling, spontaneous expression, illusionist space, acrylic staining, process, occasional imagery, and other painterly techniques, the abstract works included in this exhibition sing with rich fluid color and quiet energy. Artists associated with Lyrical Abstraction include: Natvar Bhavsar, Lamar Briggs, Friedel Dzubas, Sam Francis, Ronnie Landfield, Pat Lipsky, Joan Mitchell, Robert Natkin, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, Garry Rich, Larry Zox, Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis. Dominic Mingolla early on exhibited a talent for drawing and he wisely cultivated and refined his talent. He haunted libraries to read and study books on art, admitting that he regretted taking time to sleep since it took away from the hours he could use painting and drawing. Until Mingolla and others got hold of the form, enameling was mostly applied to copper bracelets, pins, earrings and other jewelry items, or on ceramic pieces. Dominic John Mingolla actually “paints” on sheets of copper, sprinkling colored glass powder onto the sheet, refining its form and then firing each layer in a kiln. Not bound strictly to art enameling, Mingolla paints in virtually all forms. Mingolla has works hanging in the Freedoms Foundation, Flag Plaza, Martha Washington Building, Medal of Honor Building and the National Flag Foundation as well as galleries and showrooms across the nation and in other countries. He was one of 10 distinguished American artists selected by the National Flag Foundation to create art during the American Bicentennial Year to be exhibited throughout the United States and in permanent shrine at the Flag Plaza in Pittsburgh.
