Leon Kossoff Paintings at LA Louver and Mitchell-Innes & Nash
Leon Kossoff's early paintings are on view at LA Louver in Venice, California, described as a 'crazy-quilt meditation on what painting can be.' The works are noted for their disconcerting depth and heavy, defiant brushstrokes resembling tire tracks on a sodden road. Additionally, Kossoff's work is included in 'The New Landscape/The New Still Life: Soutine and Modern Art' at Cheim & Read in New York, through September 9. The show positions Chaim Soutine as a father figure to American Abstract Expressionism and other traditions.
