Who was Ad Reinhardt?
Ad Reinhardt was an American[1] abstract expressionist painter, born in Buffalo, New York. He is known for his satirical cartoons, his writings on Asian and Islamic art, and especially for his late paintings that were near-black canvases with subtle cruciform grids.What is Ad Reinhardt known for?
Ad Reinhardt is best known for his series of near-black paintings, which he created during the last seven years of his life. These canvases, measuring 60 x 60 inches, featured a cruciform grid in dark reds, blues, or greens that were barely distinguishable from the surrounding field.What was Ad Reinhardt's art style?
Ad Reinhardt's art style evolved into what might be described as near-black abstraction.
