An inventive painter and printmaker, Adolph Gottlieb (1903–1974) was one of a group of American artists, including Mark Rothko and William Baziotes, who laid the theoretical foundations for Abstract Expressionism in an infamous letter written to the New York Times in June 1943. This exhibition documents the etchings Gottlieb produced in his Brooklyn home between 1933 and 1946.
Gottlieb’s prints are fascinating and complex works that trace the artist's development from stylized figurative work, through Surrealism, to his Pictographs of the 1940s. The AMAM's 1943 Gottlieb painting, The Rape of Persephone, will also be on view in this exhibition.
