About the Item

Born in Germany, Weisenborn was an early American modernist painter. Encounters with the proto-cubist work of French artist Paul Cézanne and other avant-garde artists spoke to Weisenborn’s “language of the modern world and its new vision.” His portraits, landscapes, and cityscapes from the 1920s and 1930s reflect a thoughtful synthesis of his “own experiments, visions, [and] feelings” with a modernist vocabulary drawn from Cubism, Futurism, Vorticism, and Expressionism. Weisenborn was deeply committed to moving beyond naturalistic representation, declaring that “the motivation is abstract, the result is abstract.” During the 1950s and 1960s, the artist expanded his subject matter with travels outside of Chicago, spending several summers in Provincetown and later returning to the mountains and red terrain of New Mexico. His abstractions from these decades employ a hard-edged geometry and bright, vivid colors, such as this painting.
