The Thing Unseen: A Centennial Celebration of Nicolas Carone

Description: Scarce exhibition catalogue. Very good condition. The New York Studio School presents “The Thing Unseen: A Centennial Celebration of Nicolas Carone.” This exhibition marks the first historical survey to give a glimpse of Nicolas Carone’s (1917- 2010) range of accomplishments in painting, drawing, and sculpture. A central connective figure in Abstract Expressionism, Carone has gained increasing recognition as an uncompromising and creative artist during a seven-decade career, culminating in a creative burst in his late eighties and early nineties.Curated by Ro Lohin, who helped revitalize Carone’s reputation at her former gallery in Chelsea, this show explores the artist’s “place in the development of contemporary American art.” It reveals, Lohin notes further, that “combined with an interest in exploring the unconscious Carone broke new ground with both his figurative and abstract work.”A member of the New York Studio School faculty for two decades beginning when it first opened, “Carone was a great mentor and a legendary figure at the School,” observes Studio School, Dean Graham Nickson. He “was considered one of the great draftsmen of his era. His art contains narratives of another time – of Fayum, of the Surrealists, and of the Abstract Expressionists. It set younger artists dreaming about space, the picture plane, and the overall.”Carone’s development from a child of working-class Italian immigrants to a close compatriot of figures such as Jackson Pollock, William DeKooning, Roberto Matta, and Conrad Marca-Relli is extensively examined in the exhibition catalog’s biographical essay by David Ramm.
