| Event Description |
Quint Contemporary Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of early works on paper by artist Manny Farber (1917-2008), titled WORKS ON PAPER 1967-1975. This is Farber's eighteenth solo exhibition at QCA.
Manny Farber's monumental color field paintings created in New York and California during the years 1967 through 1975 were cut, stained, saturated, sliced, wet, glued, painted, folded, collaged, pleated, pasted, layered, dripped, brushed, glazed, bled, marked, colored, tinted, textured, smeared, pierced, trimmed, slit, creased, buffed, wiped, varnished, washed, graphed, drawn, scraped, burnished, rubbed, scoured, soaked, coated, veiled, and wrapped. They were "action" paintings, the geometric shapes intuitively constructed and then aggressively painted using the studio floor as an easel much the way Jackson Pollack made his drip paintings.
