About
Why this artist matters now
Thomas H. Kapsalis was an American abstract painter and sculptor whose work emerged from the post-war American modernist tradition. A professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he developed a rigorous formal vocabulary in both paint and three-dimensional form. His practice centered on the investigation of color relationships and spatial composition within abstraction.
