An affordable introduction to the American abstractionist whose ingenious use of white allowed "other things to become visible"
The second volume of the Lambert Collection Icons series collects some of the finest works by one of America's foremost abstract painters, and narrates the creation of his paintings from compositional elements to their "activation" in exhibition spaces.
Robert Ryman (1930-2019) was a giant of minimalist painting. He settled in New York in 1952, initially aspiring to a career as a jazz musician. Alone he discovered art, visiting the city's myriad museums and galleries, and taught himself to paint. In a career spanning 60 years, Ryman relentlessly pared down the essentials of painting and its emotional possibilities.
