Morton Kaish (b. 1927) has long been known as a "painter's painter." His work has been collected by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and numerous other leading institutions, and he has served as a teacher and mentor to generations of American artists. His work, which bridges the abstract and the representational, the traditional and the experimental, is marked by a ceaseless exploration of light and color that has led one critic to liken him to "a latter-day Bonnard." Throughout his eight-decade career, Kaish has worked in series, returning to the same theme again and again and always finding something new; his series range from The Irish Chair, depicting wildflowers heaped on a wooden chair, to America, showing weathered doorways bearing a palimpsest of patriotic imagery.
This oversize monograph presents exceptional reproductions of a generous selection of Kaish's works, arranged by series and including his formally innovative prints and drawings as well as his paintings. A text by the noted critic David Ebony, an interview with the artist, and an illustrated chronology lend new insight into Kaish's life and work. A foreword by Annette Blaugrund, former director of the National Academy of Design, explores how the artist's studios--including the one he shared for some fifty years with his wife, the celebrated sculptor Luise Kaish--have influenced his work.
