This publication accompanies the Figuration Never Died: New York
Painterly Painting, 1950-1970 exhibition at the Brattleboro Museum
& Art Center. By about 1950, forward-looking New York painting
was seen as synonymous with abstraction- especially charged,
gestural Abstract Expressionism. But there was also a strong group
of dissenters; artists, all born in the 1920s and many of them
students of Hans Hofmann, who never lost their enthusiasm for the
seductive qualities of thick, malleable oil paint. They remained,
for the most part, 'painterly' painters. These rebellious artists
include Lois Dodd, Jane Freilicher, Paul Georges, Grace Hartigan,
Wolf Kahn, Alex Katz, Albert Kresch, Robert de Niro Sr., Paul
Resika, and Anne Tabachnick. The compelling figurative work they
made between about 1950 and 1970, in contrast to the prevailing
Abstract Expressionism of the time, constitutes a significant
chapter in the history of recent American Modernism.
