About the Artist:Jules Olitski

Jules Olitski, honored in the art history texts as a central figure in the development of abstract and color field painting, is considered to be one of the greatest living painters. Born in Snovsk Russia in 1922, he is a painter and sculptor, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and an Associate National Academician. He is one of the original color field painters who rose to prominence in the 1960s. Recognized as one of the masters of Color Field painting, Jules Olitski's development is a summation of tendencies present in post-World War II painting both here and abroad.

Color Field painting - Paintings with solid areas of color covering the entire canvas, as exemplified in the work of Mark Rothko (American, 1903-1970), Kenneth Noland (American, 1924-), and Jules Olitski (American, 1922-). A type of Abstract Expressionism, these artists were interested in the lyrical or atmospheric effects of vast expanses of color, filling the canvas, and by suggestion, beyond it to infinity. Most color-field paintings are large-- meant to be seen up close so that the viewer is immersed in a color environment.

Olitski's works are an orchestrated visual experience, expressed in thoughtful phantom moods which shimmer and radiate. His work is internationally known and represented in many major permanent and public collections. In addition to having had over 150 solo exhibitions worldwide, his work is in the collections of the Australian National Gallery, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, The Israel Museum (Israel), The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Museum of Modern Art (New York), National Gallery of Canada, Seattle Museum, Museum of Fine Arts (Houston), and the Whitney Museum of American (New York).
