The Anita Shapolsky Gallery is presenting an exhibit of four artists renowned for their contributions to hard-edged works in which color is primary. Seymour Boardman (1921-2005) moved from the use of gestural paint strokes to formally composed canvases that are specific in the use of color, shape placement, and line. Ilya Bolotowsky (1907-1981) delivers a nuanced work, without the use of primary colors. Nassos Daphnis' (1914- 2010) ouvre included the exploration of geometric planes of color, often arranged in patterns. Kendall Shaw (b.1924) has consistently been concerned with the metaphysics of art. Throughout his career, color and space have been primary. All four artists reduced complicated image to its essence through a simple play with basic color planes. They are all in numerous museum collections.
