Edwin Mieczkowski, American, 1929 to 2017, acrylic painting on board, Cornered Rounds, 1965. Signed, titled, dated, and inscribed, on the backside. Edwin Mieczkowski is known for Geometric abstract painting, Op art. Edwin Mieczkowski, born in Pittsburgh of Polish parents, was a leader of geometric and perceptual abstraction during the latter part of the 20th century. Mieczkowskis work first came to prominence in The Responsive Eye exhibition, the nations first major exhibition of perceptual art, held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1965. With a complex aesthetic that over time has transcended mere tricks of optical art, Mieczkowski has spent nearly four decades producing geometrically paintings, drawings, and sculptures, a genre of modern art that is known broadly as perceptual abstraction. Along with Frank Hewitt and Ernst Benkert, Mieczkowski was a co-founder in 1959 of the Anonima group that worked together in Cleveland and New York and declared itself free from the pressures of the art market and the pursuit of personal fame. One of a kind artwork.
