Adolph Gottlieb

Adolph Gottlieb, one of the creative inovators [[innovators]] of this century, has greatly influenced the world of art. The Gertrude Kasle Gallery, 310 Fisher Building, will have an exhibition of his paintings and sculpture from December 5 to December 30. 

Adolph Gottlieb's works concern themselves with varied symbols of "imaginary landscapes". The bursts are single or splintered, underlined by caligraphic forms. Irving Sandler, in "The Triumph of American Painting", speaks of Gottlieb's purpose "to abstract and this to generalize his symbols, to universalize them."

Born in New York in 1903, Adolph Gottlieb studied at the Art Student League. He became interested in the structural concepts of Cubism, and the work of Cezame and Van Gogh. In 1921 Gottlieb visited Paris and then travelled in Europe. Upon his return he attended Parsons School of Design. He won first prize in the Dudensing National Competition. 

By the mid-thirties, Gottlieb was exhibiting regularly with the avant-grade group known as "The Ten". In 1936 he worked for the Federal Art and later moved to Arizona. He returned to New York in 1939 and since lives in New York and East Hampton. 

His paintings are in The Detroit Institute of Arts, The Flint of Arts, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney, the Albright-Knox Gallery, and many other museums here and abroad. 

The Gertrude Kasle Gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 11 A.M. - 5 P.M.
