Frases de Adolph Gottlieb

Adolph Gottlieb , fue un pintor y escultor del expresionismo abstracto estadounidense.

Estudió en la Liga de estudiantes de arte de Nueva York y en Parsons The New School for Design de Nueva York, así como en Francia y Alemania. Perteneció al grupo de los expresionistas norteamericanos que, en 1935, formaron el grupo The Ten y el New York Artists Painter, junto a Mark Rothko y John D. Graham, entre otros. Aprovechó la iniciativa pública estadounidense de apoyar a los nuevos artistas plásticos a través del Federal Art Proyects

La fuerte influencia de su estancia en Alemania le llevó a trabajar sobre la base de las vanguardias europeas, no dejando de lado la impronta del surrealismo. Marcado en sus inicios por el constructivismo, fue desarrollando un lenguaje artístico personal en el que destacó por trabajar temas clásicos de la pintura de todos los tiempos y una mezcla de modernidad y tribalismo amerindidio y africano.

What I wanted to do was give something, to present what material I was interested in simultaneously so that you would get an instantaneous impact from it. So, I made boxes..”

“In times of violence, personal predilections for niceties of colour and form seem irrelevant. All primitive expression (like the myths) reveals the constant awareness of powerful forces, the immediate presence of terror and fear.”
