About
Why this artist matters now
Albert Eugene Gallatin was an American painter and collector whose abstract work emerged in the 1920s, informed by his engagement with European modernism and his role as a curator and advocate for non-representational art. Working primarily in oil on canvas, he developed a geometric vocabulary of interlocking planes and restrained color that reflected his study of Cubism and Constructivism. Gallatin founded the Gallery of Living Art in New York, an early institutional platform for abstract and avant-garde work in America during a period of widespread skepticism toward non-objective painting.
