About the Item

Painter Jack Roth (American, b. 1927) pioneered abstraction through the midcentury, developing a distinctive visual voice with both line-based and color field works (and combinations thereof) that exemplify the eras in which he worked. As color field painting steered the cutting edge of American abstraction away from the aggression and metaphorical speed of action painting and toward a reflective, submersive sense of color, Roth experimented with the borders between fields of color, and wordless, pictureless compositions that gave a sense of floating calm. By the 1980s he had created hundreds of color field works, notably scaling both to monumentally large canvases and much more intimate, smaller scale surfaces that most abstractionists of his generation did not much explore. Jack Roth was born in 1927 in Pennsylvania. His education spanned multiple disciplines, including art, mathematics, chemistry, and philosophy. He studied at the California School of Fine Arts (now SFAI) with legendary abstractionists Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, and Richard Diebenkorn, followed by ongoing work and study in both painting and math. In 1954, Roth was included with the likes of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning in the Younger American Painters exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum - a visionary exhibit of the best abstraction of the era. Roth can be considered a Color Field painter, but even among his peers of the mid-20th-century his style was unique, combining an energetic use of line with masterful color work, and later delving into collage and assemblage. Roth worked persistently throughout his long career to develop and refine his style, making thousands of paintings all serving as a professor of mathematics.
