Frederick Hammersley Exhibition at
Pomona College Museum of Art
Hunches, Geometrics, Organics:
Paintings by
Frederick Hammersley
January 23 - April 8, 2007
This exhibition presents an overview
of
Frederick Hammersley's work
through the early 21st century and
includes
never-before-seen drawing,
lithographs, and paintings.
An abstract painter most famously
linked with a pivotal moment in Los
Angeles art history, the 1959
exhibition called "Four Abstract
Classicists," Hammersley's mature
body of work consistently has
explored three distinct categories-
the "hunch" paintings of 1953-59,
the "geometric" paintings of 1964 to
the mid-1990s, and the "organic"
paintings from 1964 and 1982 to the
present.
A full-color catalogue accompanies
the
exhibition and includes essays
by Pomona College Professor Arden
Reed and Museum Director and
Professor Kathleen Howe.
