Permanent Art Collection
Larry Rivers
(1923 - 2002)
Student at the
Hans Hofmann School followed by studying with William Baziotes at
New York University. Rivers work was a direct departure from the
Abstract Expressionism of the 1950’s.
He begins to
inject figures and recognizable symbols into his imagery, where he
tries to establish a middle ground between abstraction and
representation. His subject matter included family, history,
politics, religion, and sex.
