Louisa Matthiasdottir's Paintings Showcased at Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York

From October 11 to November 15, Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York City showcases a collection of nearly twenty paintings by Louisa Matthiasdottir, highlighting her artistic journey over the past 25 years. The exhibition includes still lifes, self-portraits, and landscapes from Reykjavik, Maine, and Iceland. Born in Iceland, Matthiasdottir resided in New York City starting in the early 1940s and studied under Marcel Gromaire in Paris and Hans Hofmann in New York. Her vibrant, abstract works prioritize color and form over narrative, with notable pieces like 'Maine Landscape with Figure' (1976) and 'Two Horses in a Landscape' (undated). The show juxtaposes her traditional style with contemporary artists like Elizabeth Peyton and Luc Tuymans. The gallery is situated at 724 Fifth Avenue, between 56th and 57th streets.
