About the Item
An abstract, oil on linen on panel painting executed in bright oranges, blues and dark tans and browns by Post War artist Thomas Nozkowski. Signed verso, "Thomas Nozkowski."
Nozkowski's comment, "The second is one of three or four 15 x 30" paintings that I test flew to think about a new format. I had the idea that one way to move forward - towards more atmospheric and dynamic painting - might be possible by using a long, landscap-y support. I had been looking at Renaissance cassone panels, usually mythological scenes on dowery chests - I think that is what gave me the idea. It was a very difficult format and, although I started at least a dozen, only a few came to fruition. This one is probably the best of the bunch. So, this painting is an outlier - but a very interesting one. A hard sell for being less typical…and, as it turned out, changing my attitude was a more meaningful way to grow than simply changing my format!"
Thomas Nozkowski
Thomas Nozkowski (March 23, 1944 – May 9, 2019) was an American contemporary painter.[1] He achieved a place of prominence through his small scale paintings and drawings that push the limits of visual language. Nozkowski was born in Teaneck, New Jersey and raised in Dumont,[2] where he graduated from Dumont High School in 1961.[3] He spent his youth in the New Jersey suburbs, admiring New York culture from afar before moving there after graduating high school. When he was a senior in high school he won a scholarship to attend a painting class at New York University's School of Education, where he studied with Robert Kaupelis and Hale Woodruff.[2] While he earned his BFA at Cooper Union, Nozkowski was making sculptures. He graduated in 1967. He later transitioned to painting, and exhibited some of his earliest works in group shows at the storied Betty Parsons Gallery.[4]
