Lassaw will present his slide-like abstract paintings he made during the 1940s. When projected to a large size, these works hold their brilliant color and in essence become the largest paintings in the history of the Abstract Expressionist movement. During Lassaw's stay at RU, he will participate in sculpture, painting, art history and art appreciation classes in addition to critique sessions and workshops with art students. Lassaw has been a key player in New York's art world. Originality, automatic action in the creative process and the unity of matter and spirit are important issues in Lassaw's work.
