Robert Natkin Abstract Painting
Est: $10,000 - $15,000
Robert Natkin (American, 1930-2010). Acrylic on canvas painting depicting the artist's signature abstract style in cool grays with pops of bright yellow, blue, green, and red. Signed along the lower right. Lot Essay: Robert Natkin spent his early years in Chicago, renovating and operating the Wells Street Gallery with his wife Judy Dolnick, also an artist. In the late 1950s they moved to New York and then in 1970 to Redding, Connecticut, where he would spend the rest of his life. His work has been associated with abstract expressionism, color field painting, as well as Lyrical Abstraction. He was described as mischievous in his obituary in the New York Times, having once purportedly licked a Vermeer painting in the Frick collection. He also once removed a Nicolas Poussin painting from the wall in the Art Institute of Chicago and replaced it with his own, hiding the Poussin behind a velvet curtain, before switching it back when his replacement went unnoticed. His playful nature lent itself to equally playful canvases. The shapes in the present work seemingly bounce off of one another and are interspersed with polka dots and lines that heighten the energy of the painting. His use of cloth and netting as stencils led New York Time journalist John Russell to comment in 1978 as his artworks having a "worked-over look that suggests that the painting has been traversed over and over by a very small truck that has just had its tires retreaded." This texture can be spotted throughout the present work in the net-like patterns that comprise much of the central field of the painting. His artworks are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Fogg Art Museum, Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art among many other prestigious collections.

The sheet bears the blind stamp of the maker lower left as well. The following is from RobertNatkin.com, ''The Field Mouse series title refers to an Ezra Pound translation of a Chinese poem. Pound writes: And the days are not full enough And the nights are not full enough, And life goes by Like a field mouse, Running through the grass not touching. Natkin has always been deeply moved by this poem, which he refers to as ''a sweeping landscape of emotion.'' His Field Mouse paintings are indeed emotional landscapes in which the trees, sky and rolling hills of traditional landscapes are replaced by interacting pattern and shapes cradled against or boldly emerging from veils of texture.'' Sheet measures 29.25 x 25 with a framed size of 32.25 x 27.25 inches.
