About The Work
Krushenick’s signature style developed in the 1960s. Inspired by an exhibition of Henri Matisse’s late cut-paper works, Krushenick favored bright color blocks and employed black outlines. By the late 1960s, his style evolved, where the painting’s edges would often be framed, enclosing the composition.
Such compositional confinement is exhibited in "Tail Gate", where Krushenick encloses a blue field of color with his characteristic black-outlined pink and yellow rectangles on the left and top-left of the work. Described in Artforum as the missing link between Hard Edge Abstraction and Pop Art, Krushenick’s swaths of bright color, illustrative lines, and abstract forms, still place him as an important figure in the Pop Art movement.
In 1964, Krushenick was included in the legendary exhibition, Post-Painterly Abstraction, organized by Clement Greenberg at the Los Angeles Country Art Museum. Since then, Krushenick’s works have held a solid position in the American modern art canon as a connector of contrasting modernist styles. His work continues to influence contemporary artists such as Carroll Dunham and Julia Dault.
