Jerald Melberg Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Alan Gussow

Jerald Melberg Gallery in Charlotte, NC, will present the exhibit, Alan Gussow: Works on Paper, on view from Jan. 8 through Feb. 13, 2010. The exhibition will present paintings, pastels and watercolors by this New York native.

Gussow (1931-1997) studied at the Pratt Institute before graduating from Middlebury College in 1952 with a degree in Literature. The following year, while studying painting at Cooper Union, he was awarded the Prix de Rome. By the time he left New York to study at the American Academy in Rome from 1953-1955, Gussow had learned printmaking from Stanley William Hayter and was already heavily influenced by Paul Klee, Arshile Gorky, and Stuart Davis.
 
Gussow's early paintings created in the 1950s and 1960s are landscapes of a more traditional nature. However, he came of age in a time when action painting and artists like Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline were at the peak of their popularity. Eventually he connected the energy of this art with the energy he experienced in natural settings, presenting a perspective all his own.
