Mark Schlesinger
Description
Subject Matter:
Though he was a successful New York-based artist starting in the 1970s, Schlesinger's career took off in the 1990s alongside contemporaries like Rodney Alan Greenblatt and Mark Kostabi. In the 1980s, he began teaching art at a high school in Manhattan, and this sparked a resurgence in his painting creativity. The paintings, such as this one, feature geometric forms that seem to flow across the canvas, having a natural movement onto themselves. Schlesinger revamps old modernist tropes in order to create more cheerful abstract compositions.
Physical Description:
This painting has a curved brown shape crossing the lower right corner on a tan background.
