<div>Lynne Mapp Drexler’s "Untitled (Dark)" (1962) reflects the artist’s revered 1960s period, a formative decade recently honored in the exhibition "Lynne Drexler: Color Notes" at the Farnsworth Art Museum (May 4, 2024 – January 12, 2025).

Lynne Mapp Drexlers "Untitled (Dark)" (1962) spiegelt die verehrte 1960er Jahre Periode der Künstlerin wider, ein prägendes Jahrzehnt, das kürzlich in der Ausstellung "Lynne Drexler: Color Notes" im Farnsworth Art Museum (4. Mai 2024 - 12. Januar 2025) gewürdigt wurde. Dieses intime Werk, das mit Ölstift auf Papier ausgeführt wurde, zeigt Drexlers charakteristischen Ansatz, kurze, eindringliche Striche zu dichten, mosaikartigen Mustern zu schichten. Hier ist ihre Farbpalette jedoch deutlich dunkler und evoziert eine stimmungsvollere, kontemplativere Atmosphäre als ihre leuchtend farbigen Gemälde aus derselben Zeit.





Untitled (Dark)" ist zwar kleiner, zeigt aber dieselbe disziplinierte und doch improvisatorische Pinselführung, die Drexlers frühe Karriere prägte. Chromatische Beziehungen strukturieren die Komposition und erinnern an Hans Hofmanns "Push-Pull"-Theorie, während die ausdrucksstarke Freiheit ihrer Malerei den Einfluss ihres Lehrers Robert Motherwell widerspiegelt. Das Ergebnis ist eine kompakte und doch kraftvolle Erkundung von Rhythmus, Farbe und emotionalem Ton.





Das vom Nachlass von Lynne Drexler gestempelte und verso von der Künstlerin signierte und datierte Werk "Ohne Titel (Dark)" bietet einen seltenen Einblick in Drexlers Experimente auf Papier während eines entscheidenden Jahrzehnts ihrer Karriere.
