Matter&Light Gallery

1910年，弗兰兹·克莱恩(Franz Kline)出生在宾夕法尼亚州，成为20世纪最具影响力的艺术家之一，在抽象表现主义和动作绘画的兴起中扮演着重要的角色，与纽约的其他艺术家们一起，他们都是柯宁(Willem de Kooning)、罗伯特(Robert Motherwell)和李·克拉斯纳(Lee Krasner)。他最著名的作品是以大胆的黑白两色和凌厉的笔触去激发人类感官的认知。克莱恩在Matter & Light的画作获得于他的遗孀，这些画作1978年在古根海姆博物馆(Guggenheim Museum)展出。

Franz Kline was born in Pennsylvania in 1910, and became one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century, playing a central role in the rise of Abstract Expressionism and Action Painting, alongside fellow New York School artists Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell and Lee Krasner. His most famous works are characterized by bold, slashing gestures in black and white that retain their sensual humanity at whatever scale. The Kline works at Matter & Light were acquired from Kline’s widow, and were shown at the Guggenheim Museum in 1978.
