About the Item

Gouache on paper Considered to be one of the founding fathers of American abstraction, Werner Drewes was one of the first artists to introduce concepts of the Bauhaus school within the United States. Born in Germany, he spent several years at the famous Bauhaus design school studying with Paul Klee and Wasiliy Kandinsky. In 1933, when the Nazis closed the Bauhaus, Drewes emigrated to the U.S. There he became an ardent proponent of abstract painting. His work can be found in the collections of the Whitney Museum, MOMA, the MET, the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Price was one of the youngest of the first generation Abstract Expressionist circle of painters working in New York after WWII. Though only in his late twenties he began exhibiting in 1948 in New York at Hugo, Bodely, Iolas and Egan galleries. In a 1949, showing at Peridot galleries, Price was hailed for his breakthrough "Maze Series." A complex interweaving of organic shapes, automatic in nature and sometimes resembling bones or body parts, the "Maze" paintings exuded a pulsating energy that brought him critical acclaim. He received rave reviews in Art Digest, the New York Times and the New York Tribune. Price's earliest work was biomorphic or surrealist in nature, influenced by the automatism of Andre Breton and his school. By 1946, his work began to move away from this style to an all-over, decentralized style which became the "Maze" works and ultimately AbEx works which saw their culmination in the "Black Warrior" series.
