Jody Klotz Fine Art is pleased to present Juxtapositions, an unprecedented dialogue between two of the most widely admired modernist abstract colorists to emerge in America during the 1950s and 1960s, FRIEDEL DZUBAS (1915–1994) and EMILY MASON (1932–2019). The show will include thirty paintings and works on paper made between the 1960s and the last years of both artists’ lives, for Dzubas the 1980s, for Mason the second decade of the twenty-first century. This was a period when younger artists were disrupting traditional modes of art making, turning toward Conceptual art, Pop art, Minimalism, performance art, and later ventures; in the face of these departures Dzubas and Mason solidified their commitment to painted expression, continuing to mine richly emotive visual expression from the mere act of laying paint on canvas. Whether operating on a scale of inches or swelling to monumental expanses as much as eight feet square, these artists’ paintings seem suspended in space, as if levitating through their reciprocal resonance and the sheer energy of a shared conception of the emotive power of color abstraction.
