Gottlieb, Adolph

Encyclopedia Article

Gottlieb, Adolph (1903-1974), American Abstract Expressionist painter. From 1941 to 1951, under the influence of European Surrealism, he painted a series of works called pictographs, in which grids form compartments filled with symbols based on fantasy and the unconscious, one example from the series is Voyager's Return (1946, Museum of Modern Art, New York). The works in his Imaginary Landscape series (1951-1956) are partial abstractions, divided by a horizon line and containing sunlike discs or ovoids. His later Burst series (after 1957) contains large exploding orbs of colour reminiscent of solar bodies.
