Born on this day: Lynne Drexler (1928 – 1999)⁠ ⁠ Lynne Drexler’s symphonic and vividly chromatic compositions synthesise a breadth of stylistic influences, including Impressionism, Fauvism and Pointillism.⁠ ⁠ In Drexler’s early works, one can discern the origins of her short, intersecting brushstrokes, with gestural echoes of Abstract Expressionism.⁠ ⁠ These works possess a mosaic-like intricacy, with unruly accretions of rectangular forms flocking the picture plane, colliding with the immediacy of impasto layering and drips.⁠ ⁠ #LynneDrexler⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more about the artist’s work.⁠⁠ ⁠ Images:⁠ ⁠ 1.
