Description
The Paul Thiebaud Gallery is pleased to present a series of works on paper by renowned abstract expressionist Franz Kline [1910 – 1962]. Franz Kline: Studies will be on view from November 13 through December 20, 2008. This group of studies was originally gifted to the painter, Wayne Thiebaud, who met Kline in the ‘50s. Kline provided them to Thiebaud for the purposes of educating and instructing his students in Sacramento, California.Best known for his large, calligraphic black and white abstractions, Kline created a large number of preparatory works of art, exploring formal concerns in compositions that could possibly lead to larger canvases. This exhibition provides an intimate look at these initial steps in the artist’s process. Though categorized as action painting, Kline’s seemingly spontaneous works were in actuality thoroughly planned. Using an opaque projector, the artist enlarged his sketches to create the paintings.
