Natalie Edgar
Natalie Edgar (born 1932) is an American abstract expressionist painter, a former critic for ARTnews, and a key writer and historian on the birth and development of abstract expressionism. Career As a painter, Edgar has been classified as a "wom artist who broke the rules," and her lively, and often large, abstractions typically include a "mass of layered colors—with multiple glazes, opacities, broad areas laid down in washes" while "using dynamic strokes and contrasting tones hat... juxtapose color with areas of vacant canvas." Her skill and interests built on early art training at Brooklyn College with Mark Rothko, Ad Reinhardt, Burgoyne Diller, Alfred Russell, Harry Holzman, Martin James, and a degree in art history from Columbia University.

Although the term "abstract expressionism" was first applied to American art in 1946 by the art critic Robert Coates, it had been first used in Germany in 1919 in the magazine ''Der Sturm'', regarding German Expressionism. In the United States, Alfred Barr was the first to use this term in 1929 in relation to works by Wassily Kandinsky. Style Technically, an important predecessor is surrealism, with its emphasis on spontaneous, automatic, or subconscious creation. Jackson Pollock's dripping paint onto a canvas laid on the floor is a technique that has its roots in the work of André Masson, Max Ernst, and David Alfaro Siqueiros. The newer research tends to put the exile-surreali ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
