The Californian gallery is presenting several abstract works painted by the American artist Helen Lundeberg in the 1960s. Although in 1934, together with her former teacher turned husband Lorser Feitelson, she had founded what they called “Subjective Classicism” (also known as Post-Surrealism), in the 1950s Lundeberg turned to geometric abstraction. She would continue in the same vein until the 1970s. The works on show, created between 1964 and 1969, share a limited palette and tight composition. Helen Lundeberg’s images - interiors, still lifes and intuitively painted shapes – are mysterious and border on figuration. They have been exhibited in numerous American institutions, such as the Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the Whitney Museum in New York.
