FOCAL POINTS AD REINHARDT

This volume considers the work of American abstract painter Ad Reinhardt (19131967). Active in New York for over three decades, Reinhardt was part of the group of artists who became known as Abstract Expressionists, and he made work that would prove influential to the younger generation of Minimal and Conceptual artists. He believed in a philosophy of what he called art-as-art and used his writing and satirical cartoons to advocate for abstract art.
