Subtitled “Black & White II”, (Fogel often left works untitled), it is one of the paintings from the “Color Flow” series he created in 1973.“Black & White II” is one of two “Black and White” paintings known to have been produced within the “Color Flow” series. In this painting (and his other black and white works) the artist desired to present to the viewer the essence of grace and beauty through a lack of color, allowing the viewer to absorb the impact of the sensual lines and curves. Only then, the artist felt, would the viewer be capable of fully comprehend and appreciate the dynamic strength of imagery in his other paintings.Always seeking to further explore the essence of minimalism, Seymour Fogel, along with Elsworth Kelly and their peers, were instrumental in expanding how we, the audience, appreciate the beauty of our surroundings.Russell Tether,Russell Tether Fine ArtHouston Modern MarketFebruary 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 2012Lectures, film, parties, shoppingPlease see full event schedule2101 Winter Street, Houston TX 77007www.houstonmodernmarket.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
