About the Item

Signed "Stanley Twardowicz" verso.
Stanley Twardowicz's poured enamel and oil breakthrough works of the mid-1950's came as the result of a confluence of inspirations stirred together in a "perfect storm". After moving to NJ, he visited New York City frequently. He also rented a small cabin in Maine, and in 1953 invited fellow artist Kenzo Okada and his wife Kimi to visit. They introduced the artist to Zen philosophy, and while walking along the rocky shore of Maine, a he made a keystone observation which would change the course of his artistic life. In 1987 Stanley Twardowicz was interviewed and videotaped for a documentary about this artistic shift. With regard to his breakthrough poured Biomorphic Expressionist work (begun in 1953 and mastered in late-1955), the artist shared the following insights: “The biggest breakthrough for me was when I came back from Europe. I used to spend my summers in Maine. And instead of deriving my breakthrough from someone else and because my paintings are very fluid I used to walk along the rocky shores of Maine, the tide pools coming in, and all of a sudden you see a tide pool moving in automatically it hit me 'Why can’t you do that with paint?'. Just letting it flow. Almost like a natural act. Pollock of course did the drip paintings, and that was a natural act for him. But to me I had to be more organic. With larger shapes. Instead of being limited. Well, limited for me, the idea of just using the drip and gesture. Do I have to show the gesture, to be able to make a strong statement? A gutsy statement? After a while I got to the point where I said 'that’s not necessary'. Because it’s almost like the idea, how can I phrase it? Gesture to me was limited. Because you can see how it was done. You can see the gesture. I wanted to get to the stage, for instance, without any effort whatsoever, no texture, no brushwork - where nothing shows but the painting. That’s a challenge. You asked me earlier about being confronted by a challenge or a thing, and I’ll tell you that took me quite a while to overcome."
