Ad Reinhardt : Art Is Art And Everything Else Is Everything Else
Auteur(s) : Collectif
Exhibition at the Fundación Juan March, Madrid, 15 October 2021 - 16 January 2022
Abstractionist, theorist, and forefather of Minimalism, Ad Reinhardt (1913-1967) studied art history at Columbia University from 1931 to 1935, after which he participated in the WPA Federal Art Project initiative. He soon became an official member of the newly formed American Abstract Artist group alongside painters such as Josef Albers and Jackson Pollock. Reinhardt's paintings are rarely representational and are instead composed of geometrics and eventually only color: canvases of all red, all blue, all black.
Catalogue of the first monographic exhibition on the artist in Spain and one of the most complete surveys ever curated in Europe, this volume illustrates Ad Reinhardt's influence on Abstract Expressionism as well as subsequent contemporary art styles. It includes a selection of approximately 50 paintings and works on paper, spanning Reinhardt's career from early drawings, paintings and collages to later works characterized by a progressive reduction of color and form.
