Roundtable Revisits Thomas Nozkowski's 2015 Pace Gallery Exhibition Amid New Survey

In 2018, a roundtable discussion from 2015 about artist Thomas Nozkowski was republished, aligning with his exhibition titled "Thomas Nozkowski 16 x 20" at Pace Gallery, which is open until February 15. David Cohen served as the moderator for the panel, which featured Joseph Masheck, David Brody, Alexander Ross, Marjorie Welish, Jennifer Riley, and Raphael Rubinstein. The conversation revolved around Nozkowski's reputation as a 'painter's painter,' receiving strong backing from fellow artists but lacking museum recognition. Brody connected him to American modernists such as Arthur Dove and Milton Avery, while Ross emphasized his intuitive approach. Welish commented on the casual presentation, and Riley mentioned influences from comic books and figures like Picasso. Rubinstein pointed out the oversight of New York's abstract painters from Nozkowski's era.
