24-131 Bruce J. Bloom Horizontal Monotype 36 x 30

Offered here is a boldly graphic two-color monotype entitled “How to Build a Wall IV” by Bruce J. Bloom. 30 × 22½ inches, currently unframed. One-of-a-kind lithograph on 2-ply bright white wove BFK Rives, France 100% rag paper with a deckle edge. Deep plate edge deboss. Framed in gloss white wood with a gallery acrylic face and a double-thick 8-ply archival mat.

Bloom’s work is heavily influenced by the Mid-Century New York Abstract Expressionists and Action Painters such as Cy Twombly, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, and Jackson Pollack.

Bloom (1935-2019) had a long career in advertising before turning his attention to painting and printmaking. He was a resident of the North Fork of Long Island, not far from our gallery. His work was varied, including abstract and figurative subjects. One commonality is a superb understanding of color and composition, as well as an expert technique and high quality materials. We acquired his work directly from the estate.
