Thomas Nozkowski: The Last Paintings

With a new text by Marc Mayer, this exhibition catalogue honours the life and work of New York-based painter Thomas Nozkowski, featuring the artist’s final works. The 15 paintings featured here continue Nozkowski’s use of rich colour and his abstract visual language that related to personal memories or experiences of the world. Photographs of the artist in his studio and in nature illuminate his process of creating these vibrant and important works.Mayer recounts his own personal experiences with the work and details Nozkowski’s approach to pictorial abstraction, one that involved the nuances of feeling rather than confident identification to achieve his oeuvre, or what the writer calls 'a record of creative thought'.The catalogue also includes a eulogy for Nozkowski written by Peter Schjeldahl, which was delivered at a memorial for the artist at MoMA in February 2020.
