{"product_id":"nick-luttinger-mid-century-hard-edge-abstract-painting","title":"HARD-EDGE OP ART ACRYLIC BY NICK LUTTINGER (1970s)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original acrylic painting on canvas by New York artist NICHOLAS LUTTINGER (b. 1942), combining aspects of Op Art with hard-edge abstraction: twin derivatives of Minimalism. While both eschew a focus on personal expression, the former emphasizes optical illusion and other perceptual effects like the perspective games that “Nick” is playing, and the latter is defined by bold, flat areas of color (here, tones of blue, green, and orange) separated by sharp, clear lines. The canvas is currently unframed; the image wraps around the side of the stretcher to encourage frameless display. The artist’s signature runs along one edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNICHOLAS LUTTINGER\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in Far Rockaway, Queens, in New York City. He enrolled at the Pratt Institute in 1959, graduating with a BFA in Graphic Arts and Illustration in 1965. Luttinger spent several years as a graphic designer while pursuing his passion for painting and printmaking. His technical knowledge and skill with various painting media—including oil, acrylic, and wax—are exceptional. He is equally skilled as a printmaker in aquatint, engraving, intaglio methods, and stone lithography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuttinger has spent over four decades creating art that explores the psyche and emotions while pursuing his unique vision. Since the 1970s, his graphic work has been in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City (MoMA). A drawing by the artist is held by the Estate of Jerome Robbins, the great choreographer of the past century.
