Note: |
Nicholas Krushenick: One of America's premier Pop
artists, Nicholas Krushenick studied at New York's Art Students League
and with the Abstract Expressionist painter, Hans Hoffman. His first one
man exhibition was held at the Camino Gallery, New York, in 1957. The
following year he co-founded the Brata Gallery which promoted his work
as well as that of fellow artists such as Al Held and Yayoi Kusama. |

By 1962, Nicholas Krushenick began exhibiting his art in
uptown galleries such as Pace and had become a leading artist of the Pop
Art movement. At this time he began to experiment in the graphic media
of both lithography and silkscreen and produced many famous works in these
fields, such as, James Bond Meets Pussy Galore (1965). His art
began to center upon simple abstract motifs whose shapes were outlined
in heavy black lines. In this regard his original prints were often compared
to those of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, but unlike these masters
Krushenick avoided any imagery from commercial art. More than one critic
termed the art of Krushenick as 'Abstract Pop'. |

Nicholas Krushenick was a visiting artist at many schools
and universities. He also taught art at the University of Maryland from
1977 to 1991. Today his prints and paintings are included in such major
collections as the Stedelijk, Amsterdam, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis,
the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art,
the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. |
