Jack Tworkov: Against Extremes

Lecture w/ Curator Jason Andrew Jack Tworkov is regarded as one of the seminal figures of American art; his gestural paintings and dramatic mark-making helped define the Abstract Expressionist movement in America, along with Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, Jackson Pollock, and Franz Kline. Tworkov was a fixture in the Provincetown art colony of the 1920s, where he befriended artists Ross Moffett, Karl Knaths, and Edwin Dickinson. Over the course of his life, Tworkov painted masterpieces inspired by the solace and solitude he found on Cape Cod. Tworkov died at his home in Provincetown in 1982. In 1983, PAAM held a memorial exhibition in his honor, featuring a selection of the artist’s late paint- ings. Join Jason Andrew, Curator of the Estate of Jack Tworkov, for a lecture on Tworkov’s life in Provincetown. Rare photographs of the artist’s life and work will be presented, along with excerpts from the artist’s journals and personal letters—including letters from Willem de Kooning and Hans Hofmann, among others. This lecture is held in conjunction with the artist’s first comprehensive survey of five- decades of painting; the exhibition first opened in New York in August 2009, and will be on view at PAAM July 9-August 22.
