Adolph Gottlieb
New York, 1903 Long Island, 1974 Well-known American painter Gottlieb was a founding member of The Ten, a group devoted to abstract art, and he became a major exponent of Abstract Expressionism . His style can be linked to that of Marc Rothko, Clyfford Still, and Barnet Newman among others. A major theme in his painting was the challenge to humans to resolve dualities within the universe, the pressure of opposites: male and female, chaos and order, creation and destruction, order and chaos. Gottlieb studied at the Art Students League with Social Realists John Sloan and Robert Henri and in the 1920s he worked at the Academie de la Grand Chaumiere in Paris.
