Robert Natkin Abstract Prints
American, 1930-2010
Robert Natkin was born in Chicago on November 7, 1930 into a large family of Russian Jewish immigrants. In 1945 the family moved to Tennessee though soon returned to Chicago where Natkin would attend the Art Institute of Chicago (1948-1952). The museum’s collection of Post-Impressionist paintings, especially those of Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse and the whimsical abstractions of Paul Klee, were significant influences on the young artist. Natkin’s influences outside the art world included frequent trips to the Field Museum of Natural History where he was exposed to stylized Native American and Peruvian textiles.
Introduced to Abstract-Expressionism in New York in 1952, Natkin was especially drawn to the works of Willem de Kooning who’s agitated marks he began to emulate though after returning to Chicago in 1953 he abandoned ties to action painting and began to form what would become his familiar color field abstraction motif. In 1957 Natkin, now married to fellow artist Judith Dolnick, opened the Wells Street Gallery which showed the works of like-minded Chicago artists including sculptor John Chamberlain and photographer Aaron Siskind as well as New York artists they admired. Due to limited patronage however this was a short-lived venture and, seeking greater opportunities, the couple moved to New York in 1959. Natkin continued to develop bold bright fields of color and texture in his paintings finding success among the Poindexter Galleries stable of up-and-coming artists. Immersed in New York’s dynamic art scene through the 1960s and 70s, Natkin continued to evolve his style through his Apollo series, Field Mouse series, and Intimate Lighting series which includes Remembrance is the Secret of Redemption, Forgetfulness Leads to Exile. Other series followed in a long and successful career. Natkin died in Danbury, Connecticut, on April 20, 2010.
Robert Natkin has been the subject of numerous one-man exhibitions and has been included in many more group exhibitions. His work is in the permanent collections of dozens of national and international museums including New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Australia, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Additionally Natkin’s colossal 20 x 42 foot mural, executed in 1992, can be seen in the lobby of New York’s Rockefeller Center.to

Robert Natkin (1930-2010) was a New York artist known for his abstract expressionist paintings.
Born in 1930 in Chicago, Robert Natkin grew up in an extended Russian-Jewish immigrant family. In 1948 he began studies at the Art School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He was strongly influenced by the Post-Impressionists and Abstract Expressionism, the latter through an article in Life magazine. In 1952 he lived, briefly, in New York where he came under the influence of Willem de Kooning.
In 1953, Natkin returned to Chicago and began exhibiting, occasionally, in shows and exhibitions. He became closely associated with other Chicago artists, such as Stanley Sourelis, Ronald Slowinski, Richard Bogart and Judith Dolnick...

Giuseppe Capogrossi Iconic Comb Design "Superficie 324" Serigrafia
By Giuseppe Capogrossi
Located in Detroit, MI
"Superficie 324" is a 1988 screen print (serigraph) of a 1959 painting by Capogrossi. This is one of his famous "comb" or "fork" works that he perfected in the 1950s and continued to create for the remainder of his life. The blocks of primary red and yellow colors give a bright, joyful feel and contrast to the strong bold black that was Capogrossi's consistent color for the "combs". With no allegorical, psychological, or symbolic meanings, these structural elements could be assembled and connected in countless variations. Intricate and insistent, Capogrossi's signs determined the construction of the pictorial surface. This piece is identified along one side: Giuseppe Capogrossi By SIAE 1988 Silvio Zamorani Editor Via Saccarelli, 9 10144 Torino Italy Tel. (39)(11) 4730554 Progetto Grafico (Graphic Project): Studio Walter Benjamin. Serigrafia (Screen Print): BISI Torino.
Capogrossi was born in Rome. After obtaining a degree in law in 1923–1924, he decided to study painting with Felice Carena at Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma. In 1927 Capogrossi embarked on a formative trip to Paris together with fellow artists and acquaintances Fausto Pirandello, Corrado Cagli and Emanuele Cavalli...

Intimate Lighting: Blue
By Robert Natkin
Located in Dallas, TX
In 1974, a Natkin exhibit at the Holburne of Menstrie Museum in Bath, England was to be accompanied by a catalogue consisting entirely of black and white plates. The decision to reproduce only in black and white, although initially the result of financial constraints, had an enormous effect on Natkin’s aesthetic growth. The artist, determined not to compromise on the quality of his catalogue reproductions, resolved to paint black and white canvases for his show.
The rich but hushed palette of the Bath paintings was not simply a result of the artist’s attempt to financial compromise. The muted, grainy surfaces of theses canvases evoke visions of the worn stone walls, archways, and facades of the buildings of Bath, whose beauty had struck the painter during several trips to the city prior to that of the museum exhibition.
Natkin, despite a lifelong love affair with color, has always been a strong proponent of the notion “black and white as color” even referring reverentially to the painter Franz Kline, known for his bold monochromatic canvases, as a “colorist.” As Natkin points out, Kline’s black and white works, despite their lack of obviously defined chroma, resonate with a full spectrum of tones and sensuous undertones of color. The seemingly limited palette of Natkin’s Bath paintings liberated the artist, allowing him to concentrate more than ever on the skin of the canvas. His Bath paintings, like Natkin’s earlier Intimate Lighting...
