About Jack Tworkov
https://www.tworkovcatalogue.com/#
Jack Tworkov (1900-1982) was a prominent American painter who played a significant role in the Abstract Expressionist movement. He was born in Poland and immigrated to the United States at the age of 13. Tworkov initially pursued a career in business before turning to painting in the 1930s. He studied under various notable artists, including John Sloan and Hans Hofmann.
Tworkov's early work was influenced by social realism and cubism, but he later became interested in abstract expressionism. His mature style was characterized by loose brushwork, bold color, and a dynamic tension between form and gesture. He was also known for his use of geometric shapes and his exploration of the relationship between painting and drawing.
Tworkov was a founding member of the New York School and exhibited widely throughout his career. He was also a respected teacher and served as the chair of the Yale School of Art from 1963 to 1969. Tworkov's contributions to the art world have been recognized with numerous awards and honors, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and a National Medal of Arts.
