Nicolas Carone: Figurative Abstraction, Paintings from the 1960s
Nicolas Carone was driven to find suggestive narratives that embraced both the Italian tradition of figurative art and the innovations of American Abstract Expressionism. Carone鈥檚 intense early academic training could not be suppressed by the radical modernism of the 1950s and 1960s.
As Phong Bui wrote in Nicolas Carone: Contradiction as Synthesis 鈥淚n his hand, strength, vulnerability, time past and time present, coexist in the gripping embrace of human emotion.鈥�
This selection of oil paintings on board are simultaneously concerned with the figure and pure gesture.
