EDWARD ZUTRAU “Untitled” 1962 Oil on linen 21 x 25 3/4 inches Zutrau’s 1960 exhibition at Mudo Gallery, Tokyo, Japan, was accompanied by a catalogue with an essay by the prominent Japanese art critic Kinhide Tokudaji, who commended the artist’s “deep conviction” and his “very clear and strong” means of expressing himself. In a review of the show, Thomas Ichinose observed that the twenty-one oils, “painted broadly with a brush, in clear primary colors expressed a variety of spaces” that could be related to art by New York painters such as Rothko, Still, and Newman, but were “undeniably original.” #edwardzutrau #zutrau #abstraction #expressionism #colorpainting #nycart #brooklynmuseumschool #artstudentsleague #nycart #brooklynartist #bettyparsons #perldama #chelseagalleries #artgallery #artgallerynyc #estaterepresentation #berrycampbell (at Berry Campbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZ9tLeFFgV/?igshid=1jih7emmkiwb5

Blending precepts of the New York School with a strong physicality, Edward Zutrau’s works draw the viewer into both feeling and contemplation. His art was admired by his close friend Betty Parsons, who held three solo shows of his paintings at her renowned New York gallery from 1972 to 1980. As an art teacher, Zutrau inspired his many students with a love of materials and art as a means of self-expression rather than of technical virtuosity. He upheld the high ideals he conveyed in his teaching in his own work, which was always idea-driven, representing his constant search for clarity and concision.

Three of Edward Zutrau’s Japanese exhibitions were held in 1960: at Tokyo Gallery in March, at the Takegawa Gallery in June, and the Mudo Gallery in November–December. Embracing stronger color contrasts and more free-form shapes, the work of this time reflects a synthesis of Japanese and Western aesthetics.
