<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).

L'œuvre "Untitled (Dark)" (1962) de Lynne Mapp Drexler reflète la période vénérée des années 1960 de l'artiste, une décennie formatrice récemment mise à l'honneur dans l'exposition "Lynne Drexler : Color Notes" au Farnsworth Art Museum (4 mai 2024 - 12 janvier 2025). Exécutée au bâton d'huile sur papier, cette œuvre intime démontre l'approche caractéristique de Drexler, qui consiste à superposer des traits courts et insistants pour créer des motifs denses et tesselés. Ici, cependant, sa palette est nettement plus sombre, évoquant une atmosphère plus sombre et plus contemplative que ses toiles aux couleurs vives de la même époque.





Bien que de plus petite taille, "Untitled (Dark)" révèle le même travail de pinceau, à la fois discipliné et improvisé, qui a défini le début de la carrière de Drexler. Les relations chromatiques structurent la composition, rappelant la théorie "push-pull" de Hans Hofmann, tandis que la liberté expressive de son marquage reflète l'influence de son professeur Robert Motherwell. Le résultat est une exploration compacte mais puissante du rythme, de la couleur et du ton émotionnel.





Estampillée par la succession de Lynne Drexler et signée et datée au verso par l'artiste, "Untitled (Dark)" offre un rare aperçu de l'expérimentation sur papier de Drexler au cours d'une décennie charnière de sa carrière.
