SUMMARY:Rene Lichtman A Retrospective Painting & Collages
DESCRIPTION:Expressionist influences but then moving into the Geometric realm. My early painting, 1960’s, 70’s, was influenced by the “New York School” and the early Russian Constructivists. Eventually people like Rothko and Diebenkorn influenced me because they combined the geometric tradition with a “softer” more individual “painterly touch.” It is this quality which I strive for today, combined with structure, harmony and balance. At the same time there must also be the chance element, the spontaneous, and the fragile, human touch. How to reconcile the two tendencies in the works is the challenge.
