Summary

"Painter Bradley Walker Tomlin (1899-1953) was a key figure in Abstract Expressionism and a longtime resident of the Woodstock art colony. This brilliant artist has for too long been neglected. The Dorsky Museum, in partnership with the Everson Museum of Art, is presenting the first retrospective and catalogue to reassess Tomlin's art and legacy in over four decades. Bradley Walker Tomlin: A Retrospective includes over 40 paintings, works on paper, photographs, and printed materials, charting Tomlin's development from magazine illustrations of the 1920s to large-scale abstract paintings of the 1950s. Exhibition highlights include original cover illustrations for House & Garden from the Condé Nast Archive, Art Deco-influenced still life paintings, Cubist-Surrealist paintings, and major Abstract Expressionist canvases. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated, 138-page catalogue featuring an extensive critical essay by curator Daniel Belasco, and additional essays by Bard College art history professor Tom Wolf, Everson Museum of Art Executive Director Elizabeth Dunbar and Albright-Knox Art Gallery Chief Curator Emeritus Douglas Dreishpoon. A selection of primary source materials and writings by and about Tomlin, some published for the first time, and a diary entry by novelist Robert Phelps, serve as a valuable addition to this extensive new document." -- Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art website
