Gordon Hart's New York Series Breaks from His Icon Paintings
After a three-year hiatus, Scottish painter Gordon Hart resumed painting in 1972. Following his Hieroglyphs series, which used scratches, he turned to art history and the Quattrocento for his Icon series. In the early 1980s, he launched a new cycle, the New York series, in stark opposition to his previous work.
