Jerald Melberg
Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Alan Gussow
Jerald Melberg Gallery in Charlotte, NC, will present the exhibit, Alan Gussow: Works on Paper, on view from Jan. 8 through Feb. 13, 2010. The exhibition will present paintings, pastels and watercolors by this New York native.
Gussow (1931-1997) studied
at the Pratt Institute before graduating from Middlebury College
in 1952 with a degree in Literature. The following year, while
studying painting at Cooper Union, he was awarded the Prix de
Rome. By the time he left New York to study at the American Academy
in Rome from 1953-1955, Gussow had learned printmaking from Stanley
William Hayter and was already heavily influenced by Paul Klee,
Arshile Gorky, and Stuart Davis.
Gussow's early paintings created in the 1950s and 1960s are landscapes
of a more traditional nature. However, he came of age in a time
when action painting and artists like Jackson Pollock and Franz
Kline were at the peak of their popularity. Eventually he connected
the energy of this art with the energy he experienced in natural
settings, presenting a perspective all his own.
