Fritz Bultman: An American Abstractionist

On View October 18, 2013 Through January 4, 2014

Located in the Louisiana Art & Science Museum

New Orleans native Fritz Bultman (1919-1985) took part in a seminal moment in American art – the emergence of Abstract Expressionism in New York during the 1940s and 50s.

Featuring paintings, sculptures, collages and even stained glass, this exhibition took a fresh look at Bultman’s life and the influence that several major art world figures and friends, among them Hans Hoffman, Robert Motherwell, Tony Smith, and Henri Matisse, had upon the development of Bultman’s personal style.
