About the Item
"Mardi Gras 1980, New Orleans", shows playful forms cavorting in the carnival celebration. It is signed in the lower left, and stamped/numbered "671/850" in the lower right corner.
Robert Gordy is considered a pioneering Southern artist of the 20th century, known primarily as a printmaker, but also renowned for his works on canvas and for extremely clean, detailed works on paper in marker and ink. Born in Louisiana in 1933, Gordy received his BFA and MFA from Louisiana State University, and studied with Hans Hofmann in the 1950’s. The apparent calm of his paintings and drawings evidences a mastery of the dynamics of shape in varied balance. His clean-edged and stylized forms, melodic patterns, and flawless color harmonies are characteristic of his exquisite compositional patterning.

Robert Gordy
Robert Gordy was an iconic New Orleans painter. He was part of the Art and Decoration movement that also included Keith Haring. Balancing a clean, formal graphic approach with creativity, wit and verve, Gordy created a style of painting that is instantly recognizable to anyone even vaguely familiar with his work. Sometimes placed in a category with Keith Haring, he created images that exploited patterns and simplicity of form. He had a wonderful sense of color as well. Gordy’s art-making was unusual in his frequent use of markers, pens and ink to create his images – which are so clean that they look to a contemporary eye to be machine or computer-created. He was enraptured with print-making and produced much limited-edition print series. Robert Gordy’s works are in museums worldwide, including the Whitney, MoMA, the Smithsonian Institution and other top-tier institutions.

Lasky was as passionate about making art accessible to all as she was about creating it. She devoted much of her time to art education — as an education director for the Hudson River Museum, at the Lincoln Center Institute and the Bronx Council on the Arts. She was a consultant to the New York State Council on the Arts and the Connecticut State Department of Education and worked in many capacities, including director at the Museum of Modern Art’s education department from 1986 to 2001.
Lasky brought art to countless Riverdale children and senior citizens through her work with Riverdale Neighborhood House.
“Throughout her life she was always committed to her work as an artist, but she was also seriously committed to art education and that was important,” her son, Michael Lasky, said.
“She worked toward innovative art programs and had the kids paint...
