Eric Firestone Gallery, New York
Born in New York, Paul Brach propelled American art forward through his own contributions as an Abstract Expressionist, Minimalist, art educator, and valued mentor. Brach grew up riding horses and working on ranches, experiences that influenced his work throughout his career. While studying at the University of Iowa under Grant Wood, Brach was called to the military and served in the U.S. Army as an infantryman for three years during World War II. After completing his formal art education and his first teaching experience in the Midwest, Brach returned to New York with his wife, the artist Miriam Schapiro.
Brach frequented the notorious Cedar Bar and quickly became associated with second-generation Abstract Expressionism, both socially and through his own interpretation of painterly abstraction.
In 1957, Leo Castelli opened his famed gallery at 4 East 77th Street on the Upper East Side. Brach was the third artist to enjoy a solo exhibition at Castelli Gallery, which ran from April to May of 1957. For the better part of the next decade, Brach would show with many of the artists who would come to be known as titans of the American post-war era: Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Morris Louis, Robert Rauschenberg, and many others.
In 1967, Brach moved to San Diego, accepting the offer to be chairman of the new art department at the University of California San Diego. Two years later, Brach moved on to the California Institute of Arts in Los Angeles, becoming the first dean of their art school. Integral to the program, Brach assembled an incredible faculty, which included Allan Kaprow, Nam June Paik, and Miriam Schapiro, while also fostering an environment in which artists like David Salle, Eric Fischl, and Jack Bloom could develop and flourish. Along with the educational renaissance Brach was leading, his studio practice evolved toward minimalism, with his paintings beginning to favor subtle palettes and quiet compositions.
In 1975, Brach and Schapiro returned to New York where he assumed the directorship of the Arts Division at Fordham University. Some years later, Brach eschewed academia in favor of a studio practice, which he maintained for the rest of his life.
Brach showed with various galleries until 1998, when he and Schapiro permanently relocated to East Hampton, where they remained until his death in 2007. Brach's work can be found in many public and private collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Amon Carter Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian, among others.

This work has been recorded under no. 1531 in the digital Catalogue Raisonné of the artist, prepared by Michel Reymondin, Montreux, Switzerland.
Carl Walter Liner was born in the Swiss canton of Appenzell, near the border with Liechtenstein, in 1914. The son of famed artist Carl August Liner, the younger Liner enjoyed more critical and commercial renown for his landscapes.
In 1938 at the age of 24, he undertook what would become the first of several residencies in Paris. This particular sojourn helped to establish the trajectory of his career, as Paris would provide the setting in which he became acquainted with early twentieth century masters Maurice de Vlaminck, Georges Braque, Ossip Zadkine, Gérard Schneider, and Erich Heckel. The stylistic and technical influence of his contemporaries is clearly evident in Liner’s work from this point forward.
Unfortunately, the dawn of the 1940s would bring about a number of challenges for Liner. With the outbreak of war, Liner was mobilized for the Swiss Border Guard, and returned home to Switzerland in 1939. He remained on active duty until 1945, only to lose his father the following year. The death of the elder Liner left a profound impact on his son, who eventually made his way back to Paris in 1947 and embarked upon what would become a very successful series of nudes.
By his own admission, 1948 was a pivotal year in Liner’s career, as a particularly spiritual trip to Algeria would foment the emotions led to the beginning of his practice with abstraction. Henceforth, Liner would vacillate between the figurative and abstract, creating parallel oeuvres. His abstraction from the 1950s and 60s mirrored...

Theodore Franklin (“Ted”) Appleby, Jr. was born January 28, 1923 in Asbury Park, New Jersey to a very prominent family in Monmouth County. He attended the Pauling School in New York and studied at the atelier of John Corneal.
On December 12, 1942, Appleby enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, subsequently seeing action in the Marshall Islands. Upon the conclusion of the war, he was stationed for a year in Yokohama, Japan, where he studied local engraving techniques.
In 1947, after returning home, Appleby moved to Mexico for a year to study mural painting in San Miguel de Allende. Following his sojourn in Mexico, Appleby briefly returned home to the U.S. before ultimately relocating to Paris. There, he joined a lively community of expatriate American artists involved with what would come to be known as the “School of Paris.” Appleby befriended fellow Americans Sam Francis and Jackson Pollock, exhibiting extensively throughout France with the former. He also regularly visited the atelier of Fernand Léger, and was represented in the "Salon de Réalités Nouvelles" and the “Salon d’Automne” during the 1950s and 60s.
From 1955 to 1961, Appleby participated in group exhibitions in Chicago, Leverkusen (Germany), Lisbon, London, and Paris. He also had three notable solo exhibitions during this period: Studio Facchetti, Paris (1956); Martha Jackson Gallery, New York (1957); and the American Cultural Center, Paris (1959). In 1957, Appleby’s work was presented at the 62nd American Exposition of Painters and Sculptors at the Chicago Art Institute, where he was awarded the Norman Wait Harris Bronze Medal and Prize.
Answering the famed artist André Lhote’s call to help save the village of Alba-la-Romaine in the Ardèche, Appleby and his wife - the artist Hope Manchester - purchased a home in the village in 1950, ultimately settling there until their deaths.
