Don Nice Figurative Prints
American, 1932-2019
Don Nice is a classic figure in American art of the past half-century. He burst upon the scene in the early 1960’s when the Whitney Museum of American Art acquired his
“American Series #5” and he was recognized as one of the innovative group of “new
perceptual realists” who wanted to put content back into painting. Nice integrates a
gestured technique gleaned from earlier expressionist and Abstract Expressionist painters with a realist focus and energy derived from Pop Art. Combining a naturalist’s interest in observation with an artist’s compulsion for artistic vision, Nice embraces aspects of popular culture and certain critical issues of our time. He paints classic American products like sneakers, candy wrappers and soda bottles with the same intensity he lavishes on quintessential site-specific landscapes from the Hudson River Valley to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In doing so he has created a distinctive vision of civilization’s detritus in league with cultural concerns for the environment.
Born in California, he studied art in Europe and earned an MFA at Yale, and then established himself in New York City before acquiring a house and studio overlooking the Hudson River in bucolic Garrison. There he has reveled in the painterly gesture and provocative realism for which he is known. He has conjured and created a singular pursuit of new formal ideas and formats in which he visualizes the complicated and often organic interplay between process and product, between that which is common and that which is classic.
Over the past 50 years Nice’s work has entered many major public collections world wide including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of Art, the
Museum of Modern Art, the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, the Walker Art Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario in Canada and the National Museum of Art in Australia. Nice has had over 60 solo exhibitions in the United States and abroad. And has been included in more than 140 group exhibitions in prominent galleries and museums globally. Nice’s work has been a subject of 4 major publications, including a monograph of the Artist’s life and work, published by Pomegranate Books. In 2018 he was the recipient of The Lee Krasner Award in recognition of a lifetime of artistic achievement for his distinguished career.
Though out Nice’s carrier he had a deeply held concern for the environment and collaborated with environmental advocate organizations such as Nation Resource Defense Council, Open Space Institute and the Hudson Highland land Trust to name a few.to

At the outbreak of World War I, he was returned to Romania, where he spent the war years.
In 1921, he traveled to the United States with his friend and fellow artist, Arthur Kolnik, with whom he had shared a studio in Cernovitzu. In New York City, the two met artist Alfred Stieglitz, who was instrumental in organizing their first American show at the Anderson Gallery.Following the exhibition, in 1922, they both returned to Europe. In 1923, Rubin emigrated to Mandate Palestine.
Rubin met his wife, Esther, in 1928, aboard a passenger ship to Palestine on his return from a show in New York. She was a Bronx girl who had won a trip to Palestine in a Young Judea competition. He died in 1974

Tropical Punch Large Pop Art American Photorealist Lithograph
By Don Nice
Located in Surfside, FL
Don Nice was born in Visalia, California, in 1932. He studied painting at the University of Southern California and Yale University, graduating with a Master of Fine Arts. Since 1982, he has been artist-in-residence at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH. Nice lives and works in Garrison, NY.
His most important inspiration came from his teacher Alex Katz. In 1958 he attended the International Summer Academy, which was directed by Oskar Kokoschka.
Since the 1960s, Don Nice has established himself internationally as one of the most important representatives of the New Realists and Pop Art drawing from Pop culture and everyday objects as his inspiration. Sneakers, Coke bottles, candy wrappers and cigarette packets all form parts of his repertoire. Considered with other realists of the day – Richard Estes or Malcolm Morley – Nice utilizes a visual vocabulary that is neither expressionistic nor abstract. Coming out of the 1960s, his work is part of a classic Pop iconography that toys with the homogeneity and sterility of mass-produced culture. Warhol’s influence, especially from his early soup can paintings, can also be seen. He was famously a part of Various Artists with Joe Zucker, Tom Wesselmann, Agnes Martin, Robert Mangold, Sol LeWitt, Chuck Close, Daniel Buren, Richard Artschwager and Carl Andre for the Rubber Stamp Portfolio...
