Felrath Hines: Kinds of Blue presents an intimate discovery of six oil on canvas works by Felrath Hines from the late 1950s to early 1960s. Hines’ work of this time is among his strongest, featuring large-scale canvases, masterful use of color, and layered brushwork rooted in historical Impressionist and Fauvist Masters such as Claude Monet and Henri Matisse, yet distinctly representative of the Abstract Expressionist era in which they were produced. Hines’ sweeping, interlocking and overlapping gestural passages, for instance, recall the work of fellow New York-based post-war artists Clyfford Still and Robert Motherwell.
Hines valued balance and harmony above all, as a means of conveying, "visual as well as spiritual pleasure."
