Artist

Ad Reinhardt

Painting

Ad Reinhardt was a champion of the abstract art movement who stood firm in his belief that abstract art should remain pure – positing that abstract art should “present art-as-art and as nothing else” and remain “non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective.”1
