  • Peter Max Biography
    ARTIST BROCHURE Decorate Your Life™ ArtRev.com Peter Max Peter Max is a multi-dimensional creative artist. He has worked with oils, acrylics, water colors, finger paints, dyes, pastels, charcoal, pen, multi-colored pencils, etchings, engravings, animation cells, lithographs, serigraphs, silk screens, ceramics, sculpture, collage, video and computer graphics. He loves all media, including mass media as a "canvas" for his creative expression. As in his prolific creative output, Max is as passionate in his creative input. He loves to hear amazing facts about the universe and is as fascinated with numbers and mathematics as he is with visual phenomena. "If I didn't choose art, I would have become an astronomer," states Max, who became fascinated with astronomy while living in Israel, following a ten-year upbringing in Shanghai, China. "I became fascinated with the vast distances in space as well as the vast world within the atom," says Max. Peter's early childhood impressions had a profound influence on his psyche, weaving the fabric that was to become the tapestry of his full creative expression. It was a childhood filled with magic and adventure, an odyssey the likes of which few people have had, artists included. European born, Peter was raised in Shanghai, China, where he spent his first ten years. He lived in a pagoda-style house situated amidst a Buddhist monastery, a Sikh temple and a Viennese cafe. And yet, with all that richness and diversity of culture, he still had a dream of an adventure yet to come in a far-off land called America.

  • Jack Whitten
    HAUSER & WIRTH Press Release Jack Whitten Hauser & Wirth New York, 22nd Street 26 January – 8 April 2017 Opening reception: Thursday 26 January, 6 – 8 pm New York… Beginning 26 January 2017, Hauser & Wirth is pleased to present its first exhibition devoted to the work of American abstractionist Jack Whitten. The show will feature selections from the artist’s newest bodies of work from 2015 – 2017, including tessellated paintings from the series Quantum Walls, and Portals; a piece from Whitten’s ongoing Black Monolith project honoring African-American visionaries; and assorted lenticular works on evolon. Lushly material explorations of space and its apertures, these works celebrate the distinctive painterly language that Whitten has developed over the course of a five-decade career. ‘Jack Whitten’ will remain on view at Hauser & Wirth’s West 22nd Street space through 8 April 2017. Moving to New York City to study art at Cooper Union in the early 1960s, Whitten was exposed to a range of influences, from the vigorous paintings of fellow artists Willem de Kooning and Norman Lewis, to the rich complexity HAUSER & WIRTH of bebop. Within this cultural milieu he developed an experimental style that combined the expressive physicality of gestural abstraction with the conceptual rigor of systems art. A radical breakthrough in 1970 provided the basis for his mode of working today: lifting a thick slab of acrylic paint off its support, Whitten realized that paint could be coaxed into the form of an independent object, challenging preexisting ideas about dimensionality in visual art. He began to lay sliced acrylic ribbons in wet, uneven fields of paint, mimicking the setting of mosaic tessarae into wet masonry.

  • Extending Abstraction Jack Whitten's Work in the Gap Between Form And
    Extending Abstraction Jack Whitten’s Work in the Gap between Form and Meaning by Sven Beckstette “I work in the gap. With everything I do, I work in the gap. The gap is what excites me the most. In painting, it’s the gap that exists between form and meaning. That’s where I work.”i “I grew up in the South with the fundamentalist religion. Certain people existed as a spirit and energy – people I knew – Miles Davis, Norman Lewis, Romare Bearden, James Baldwin.”ii Jack Whitten The work of Jack Whitten is characterized by a continual extension of the means of painterly abstraction.iii This is most evident when it comes to technical aspects of execution including choice of materials, but is also applicable to the facture and composition of his paintings. In the 1960s, Whitten’s work was heavily influenced by the late Surrealism of Arshile Gorky and by the gestural and spontaneous abstraction of Willem de Kooning. While in the series Heads (1964), Whitten explored the possible analogy between painting and photography, the works that followed addressed autobiographical questions about his own identity. At the time, Whitten referred to himself as an abstract-figurative Expressionist. Works such as Garden in Bessemer – a reference to Gorky’s Garden in Sochi (1941) – seem like a psychedelic tangle of flowers and vegetation from which, upon closer inspection, human faces emerge. This development reached an end point in Satori (1969): With this work, Whitten not only embraced the formal language of geometric abstraction for the first time – something he had considered while studying African sculpture – but he also began to understand painting as a conceptual medium.
