Grace Hartigan

1922–2008 · American

Grace Hartigan emerged in the New York School with large gestural abstractions but soon reintroduced recognizable imagery from shops, newspapers, old masters and popular culture. Her work challenged the idea that abstraction and figuration had to remain separate.
