Richard Pousette-Dart

American artist Richard Pousette-Dart, who passed away in New York in 1992, is still being talked about even on the other side of the ocean. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection hosts in its new wing the first retrospective of his paintings to be shown in Europe: fifty-odd works which include paintings, drawings and photographs, coming mainly from the artist's estate. Born into a family where his mother was a poetess and father a painter, young Richard received an all-encompassing artistic education. He later moved to New York, where he became one of the key figures of the New York School together with Robert Motherwell, Mark Rotko and Willem de Kooning. He soon left behind realism for abstract art full of Freudian and Jungian references, using techniques that ranged from 'total-white' to full use of colors with themes related to sideral space.
