About the Item
Provenance: Fischbach Gallery, New York Collection of A. Aladar Marberger
Ray Parker, a New York School Abstract Expressionist, was a colorist influenced by Cubism in his early work. He later sought to improvise in paint as he did in his playing as a jazz musician.
Parker's works from the 60s and 70s have a lyricism usually associated with Matisse’s cutouts of the forties, or Stuart Davis’s high-keyed color abstractions. But there is something definitely free and very sixties in Parker’s work of the period. It has scale, size, and shapes one would encounter floating down the Hudson. And it has humor: you can see what Parker was looking at and what he was listening to. He knew from his music that there didn’t have to be anything half-assed or rough about improvisation. You don’t "put" feeling into the work; it’s there or it isn’t. Along with artists like Jack Youngerman and George Sugarman, Parker got what was great in Matisse and Davis, and like any good player, he took the idea into the studio and didn’t come out until he made something new and personal.
Ray Parker's work is in the collections of the Los Angeles Museum of Art; Tate Gallery, London; Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.
