Early abstract painting by Paul Jenkins b.1923
Abstract painting by Paul Jenkins. Signed and dated 1958. Measures 24" x 24". Very good vintage condition. A contemporary of American artists living in Paris in the 1950s, Paul Jenkins did work that represents the inventive spirit and energy of post-World War II abstraction. Greatly influenced by Jackson Pollack and Mark Rothko, Jenkins is famous for his inventive method of pouring paint directly onto the canvas, as well as for pure, prismatic color. He often uses an ivory knife or a brush for finishing, but never allows a stroke to show. The work of Paul Jenkins is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Tate Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, among many others.
