Salvatore GrippiFigures Running - Early Abstract Expressionism like Willem de Kooning1950
1950
About the Item
Salvatore Grippi was my art professor at Ithaca college from 1970- 1971
Who was doing paintings like this in 1950? Jackson Pollack, Willem De Kooning and Salvatore Grippi, and a few others. Grippi was on the landing crew a Normandy Beach WWII and his early work reflects from the of the tension and stress of the moment. Like de Kooning the work is at the intersection of Abstract Expressionism and Representation.
Grippi exhibited with the giants of the movement, Kooning, Nevelson, and Kline.
Grippi's work is in the collections of the MOMA, The Whitney. The Met., The Library of Congress and the Hirshhorn Collection.
In the 1950's he was with the Zabriskie Gallery and exhibited with William Baziotes, Adolph Gottlieb, Willem de Kooning, Michael Goldberg and Louise Nevelson at the famed Stable Gallery from 1953 - 1957.
In 2011, he was honored with a solo retrospective at Cornell University's Johnson Museum of Art.
Sadly, he is currently off the art world radar, despite how important of an early abstract expressionist painter he was. Perhaps this will change in the near future.
The work is in an original, simple and minimal wood frame.
Signed and dated lower right.

There are a lot of people in the art world today who dismiss illustrators are being commercial solely because the artists identified as being commercial artists and that the work was done on assignment.
Sadly these art world people have limited imagination and a restricted sense of curiosity.

Football Team Sports Action Painting Abstract Expressionism, Sports Illustrated
By Bob Peak
Located in Miami, FL
Football players cloaked in oversized Browns jackets are seen from behind running off the field. Always the graphic innovator, legendary illustrator Bob Peak creates a radical composition by leaving the bottom two-thirds of the picture plane empty of detail. To convey a sense of motion, Peak uses broad strokes of paint similar to the action painters Franz Kline and Willem de Kooning, who were the dominant force in the fine art world in the 1960s. Clearly, one can see a cross-over influence from Fine Art to commercial illustration as Peak strikes a balance between abstract versus figurative art. This work was done on an assignment for Sports Illustrated...
