John Opper, 1955, 55 x 46. Opper was an early American abstract painter and co-founder of the American Abstract Artists group in 1936. He had his first show in 1937. After the war, like many of his compatriots, he pursued Abstract Expressionism, of which this painting is an example, and later a kind of Colorfield abstraction. One critic called him “a substantial member of the New York School.” Available. #johnopper #newyorkschoolartists #abstractexpressionism #interiordesign #artadvisory #americanabstractartists #colorfieldpainting #paintingoftheday #abstractart https://www.instagram.com/p/ClrbvqSpPT1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

JOHN OPPER Vivian Raynor called the works Opper exhibited at the Stable Gallery in 1962, “handsome objects” that afforded “contemplation of color for its own sake.”During the 1960s, Opper assumed a Color Field sensibility, further controlling the gestural quality of his art and playing colors off each other “with the elegance and panache of a master juggler,” as noted by Hilton Kramer in 1979.

“The structured forms of John Opper's paintings during these two decades investigate a broad yet surprisingly intimate range of color relationships that evoke subtle, lasting emotion.” - Kim Uchiyama review of “John Opper: Paintings from the 1960s and 1970s” at Berry Campbell Gallery for Delicious Line. @kimuchiyama @deliciousline #johnopper #abstraction #artreview #kimuchiyama #berrycampbell (at Berry Campbell)
