Jules Olitski
Russian-American, 1922-2007
Throughout his career, Jules Olitski stood just off-center of the core American Abstract Expressionists. This enlightening (all puns intended) exhibition, “Embracing Circles 1959–1964,” shows the artist at a concentrated moment in a career marked by various styles, the most signature being his multitoned spray-painted works. The sprays, unlike the circles, are absent definition of line and are the most spiritually, if ambiguously, suggestive.
