“In my mind’s eye I can still see Richard Pousette-Dart in his studio on the second floor of a fieldstone carriage house in a wooded area facing the foothills of the Ramapo Mountains.” — Martica Sawin 

Richard Pousette-Dart: The Centennial, published in celebration of the pioneering artist’s 100th birthday, collects 18 paintings from across four decades of his practice. The rich, tactile surfaces of these works reflect Pousette-Dart's enduring interest in biomorphic forms and the effects of light. Included in this publication is an essay by art historian Martica Sawin.

Richard Pousette-Dart: The Centennial

Richard Pousette-Dart

Richard Pousette-Dart was the youngest artist of the New York School’s first generation of Abstract Expressionists.
During his career, Pousette-Dart created a lexicon of biomorphic and totemic forms that provided rich visual and symbolic sources that he would explore throughout his long career in a multitude of painterly approaches. He is recognized for his painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture, which are unified by his expressive use of gesture, form, and color. Never embracing action painting and instead pursuing his own aesthetic, Pousette-Dart sought universal significance in his art, expressed through nonobjective means.
