KRUSHENICK (1929 - 1999)
A formality and
brilliance of color reminiscent of medieval Europe S banners
is apparent in Krushenick s art Yet there is, at the same time
and in spite of the bright energy, a depiction of a painful
tension krushenick began in a figurative style after his studies
at the Art Student's League and the Hans Hofmann School of Art,
then moved from one to another of several varieties of Abstract
Expressionism. It was in the 1960's that the soft brushwork
he had favored was abandoned for hard-edge black stripes that
cut through jewel-like colors; beneath the shimmer of the coloring
is a solidity of effect that relates his color areas to the
intervening bars. Krushenick's art is included in nearly every
major avant-garde exhibition.
