Shapinsky, Harold (American painter, 1925-2004)
|
Note: Shapinsky was an Abstract Expressionist painter. Although discouraged from making art by his parents, he won a scholarship to study at Subjects of the Artist, an informal loft school where Robert Motherwell, William Baziotes, Barnett Newman, and Mark Rothko taught. Though his fellow painters knew Shapinsky's work, it only became more known in the mid-1980s. His work was championed by Akumal Ramachander, an Indian teacher and art connoisseur, leading to exhibitions in London galleries, including the Tate, and elsewhere in Europe. In 1992 the National Arts Club in New York gave Shapinsky a retrospective. |
