Harry Nadler Labyrinth II Series 1978
Harry Nadler was a geometric abstractionist, greatly influenced by French painters, Paul Cezanne and Piet Mondrian. His brushwork creates a sense of movement and a play of light within the confines of his geometric lines and forms. Nadler absorbed the paintings of his predecessors, adapting their motivating ideas in a search for meaning in his own work. After immersing himself in the sensuousness of paint quality and the richness of color relationships—as exemplified by Paul Cezanne, Archile Gorky, Richard Diebenkorn, and others—he found a greater need for
geometric structure in his paintings. Throughout his career, he combined this sensitivity of paint handling with geometry in order to create his unique vision of formal power and light.
In late 1977-78, he returned to the square format after painting on the diagonal; the imagery became pictographic, and one of his old concerns reemerged: the issue of edges and the center. This was the beginning of the Labyrinth Series. He became more involved in the richness of the surface and moved into color to create a dark luminosity. At this time, he remarked, in characteristic humor, that the labyrinth was a metaphor for his life; he didn't know where he was going. He showed these works in 1979 in New York City and was much stimulated by the response.
His work is represented in major museum collections and galleries throughout America and Europe, including Cincinnati Art Museum, OH; Fine Arts Museum, Santa Fe, NM; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY and Storm King Art Center, New York, NY.
