- Summary
- All-over gestural abstraction is a quintessentially Americantype of painting. Julian Lethbridge was born in Ceylon and grew up in Great Britain. That noted he has been a New Yorker since 1972, making Lethbridge's story a typically American one of successful immigration. Except for the Native American population we all came from elsewhere at different times and for different reasons, texturing, variegating and marbling this country's culture in wondrous ways. In essence all-over American-type painting is a rubric that can be applied to a broad sweep of post-1950s art broader certainly than the scope originally intended by Clement Greenberg, who coined the term ranging from that of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning to Jasper Johns and Cy Twombly. Its common denominator can be found in the working principle that the amalgam of marks evoking the more or less representational, more or less poetic image is in itself the image. Exhibition: Paula Cooper Gallery, New York, USA (16.2. - 18.3.2017) / CFA, Berlin, Germany (9.6. - 2.9.2017).
