Quote by Richard Pousette-Dart

Richard Pousette-Dart (June 8, 1916 – October 25, 1992) was an American abstract expressionist painter and a key member of the New York School. Known for his unique abstract style and spiritual exploration, his works often blend symbols, lines, and colors to explore the connection between the inner self and the cosmos. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, he was largely self-taught, influenced by his father, a painter. Moving to New York in the 1940s, he participated in the abstract expressionist movement while maintaining an independent approach. His works are held in major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pousette-Dart emphasized art as a meditative and self-discovering process, leaving a lasting impact on later artists. more
