Otto Rogers
Single Leaf With Red - vibrant, abstract, cubist, modernist, acrylic on canvas

2018

About the Item

A leaf shape is poised within balanced passages of red, green and blue in this masterful acrylic by Otto Rogers. Painted in 2018, this vibrant yet contemplative composition is an exploration of the theme of motion in stillness using modernist forms. Otto Donald Rogers (1935-2019) taught at the University of Saskatchewan (1959-1988) after receiving his MA in Fine Art from the University of Wisconsin. In 1963, critic Clement Greenberg recognized Rogers as a “big attack” painter and his artwork, rooted in the traditions of cubism and constructivism, as having a “fullness of inspiration.” Rogers helped sustain the Emma Lake Workshops, a meeting place for some of North America’s leading artists including Barnett Newman, Jules Olitski and Rogers himself. Rogers’ work is held in more than 30 public collections including: the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. "There are few artists, very few, whose work has about it a kind of magic; they sing their own song. Otto Rogers is one of these special few. I love what he does. " Sir Anthony Caro
