About the Item

This is a wonderful Oil Painting by the great painter Harry Nadler. This piece predates his first showing at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (1960) and is quite possibly his easiest know work. Harry Nadler 1930-1990, who lived and worked in New York and New Mexico, arrived in New York City in 1962, some ten years after the heyday of Abstract Expressionism. He absorbed the paintings of his predecessors, adapting their motivating ideas in a search for meaning in his own work. After immersing himself in the sensuousness of paint quality and the richness of color relationships—as exemplified by Paul Cezanne, Archile Gorky, Richard Diebenkorn, and others—he found a greater need for geometric structure in his paintings. Throughout his career, he combined this sensitivity of paint handling with geometry in order to create his unique vision of formal power and light. His work is represented in major museum collections and galleries throughout America and Europe Notes for a talk by Harry Nadler, delivered at Sena Gallery East, Santa Fe, N.M.
