About

Why this artist matters now

Matsumi Kanemitsu was an American painter and printmaker whose gestural, expressive abstractions emerged from the postwar avant-garde. Working primarily in oil and printmaking, he developed a distinctive language that engaged color field painting with gestural mark-making. His work navigated the formal innovations of abstraction during the mid-twentieth century.
