About the Item
Norman Carton
Norman Carton (Russian American, 1908–1980), a vibrant force in Abstract Expressionism, was known for his dynamic use of color and expressive, gestural brushwork. Born in Russia and raised in America, Carton explored the emotive potential of abstract and abstracted forms, often using vivid hues and organic lines to evoke a sense of movement and vitality. His works were deeply influenced by his background in mural painting, which helped him develop a layered approach to color and texture. As both a painter and draftsman, Carton’s pieces reflect a deep commitment to experimentation and emotional resonance. Although not widely known during his lifetime, his contributions to abstraction remain a testament to the versatility and energy of mid-20th-century American art.

Norman Carton
Norman Carton was an American artist and educator known for Abstract Expressionist works in oil on canvas. While this was his most recognized style and medium, Carton was primarily a colorist and also worked as a muralist, classically trained portrait and landscape artist, sculptor, theater set and fabric designer, and illustrator as well as in a variety of abstractions. He has a large museum collection and commercial history, showing in more than 20 solo and 135 group exhibitions." He was awarded numerous awards, prizes and fellowships for painting. In the 1930s he was part of the WPA creating murals. In the 1940s, he founded a fabric design and production firm which was featured in Interiors magazine, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Women's Wear Daily. These were hand-printed fabrics and his clients were Nina Ricci, Hattie Carnegie, Lord & Taylor, and others. In 1962 Norman Carton opened his own Dewey Gallery in NYC. Carton's works continue to be included in present day exhibitions including at Quogue Gallery entitled 1950s and 1960s Works on Paper,, at the Nassau County Museum of Art entitled Blue in 2020 as well as Energy: The Power of Art in 2019, and at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in 2019 entitled Inspiration & Exploration. Norman Carton's 2020 solo exhibition at Quogue Gallery was reviewed by Charles A Riley. A representational portion of Carton's papers which include correspondence, writings, notes, exhibition catalogs and sketchbooks were donated to the Smithsonian Archives of American Art where they remain.
