Now, almost a half-century after he began his career, this exhibition provides the opportunity to view his work outside of the context of the New York School and the myriad movements that followed. It is indeed time to respond to his paintings with a fresh eye, a sensibility that reflects yearnings of a different sort. Nature is not dead, nor is the human response to it. Schueler reminds us of that timeless and universal fact. Jon Schueler died of complications related to Parkinson's disease in New York on August 5, 1992.
Death is a disappearance in the sky.
