Jack Roth Large Unsigned Reproduction of Famed Abstract Expressionist Painting of Paxton Cove... Over a career that spanned four decades, Jack Roth built on his early success in the Abstract Expressionist movement to cultivate a remarkable body of color abstract painting. Roth’s art evolved alongside the vanguard of postwar American art through Color Field abstraction and beyond. Jack Roth began his career in art as one of the youngest artists—just 27 years of age—whose work was selected for the landmark “Younger American Painters” exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, which helped to introduce Abstract Expressionism to the American public in 1954. This exhibition, which traveled to major art museums across the United States, included many leading artists of the day, including Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell, many of whom were decades his elder. Roth’s early works feature densely brushed canvases that exhibit a highly expressive quality of gesture. With a sense of graphic immediacy and arrangements of fresh, even color, Roth’s later work often incorporated broad shapes of stained matte pigment on unprimed canvas. They often employed an unusual use of line and negative space, sometimes evoking the flat, ‘cutout’ shapes of Matisse’s late paintings.In 1963, Art in America named Roth as the “New Talent” graphic artist upon the recommendation of Museum of Modern Art curators Dorothy Miller and William Lieberman. In 1978, the legendary gallery Knoedler & Co began their representation of Roth’s work, placing him in a prestigious company of artists such as Helen Frankenthaler, Alexander Calder, Adolph Gottlieb, Robert Motherwell, and Franz Kline. Roth was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for painting the following year.
