Our last post talked about #LibbieMark’s study wit

Our last post talked about #LibbieMark’s study with #VaclavVytlacil at the #ArtStudentsLeague. Vytlacil encouraged her to study in Provincetown with #HansHofmann, with whom he studied as well. Mark’s educational experience with both these significant instructors between 1956-58 had a great influence on her artmaking. Mark and her husband relocated to New York City from Great Neck, Long Island at this time to further her artistic career.

This painting was made at the Art Students League, as indicated by the special “L” (League) date on verso: “1956-L.”

Last week we shared a painting that #LibbieMark likely worked on at the Art Students League during her important 3-year study 1956-58 with #VaclavVytlacil. A number of her works from this time have an “L” date on verso, indicating the League association. This untitled collage painting in a private collection is one of four documented so far that show this date code. Written on verso is “1957-L + 1965,” so Mark finished it later.

After studying with Vytlacil as well as #HansHofmann in 1957, Libbie became much more prolific and, it appears, more confident in developing her own style of #AbstractExpressionism. Perhaps this confidence inspired her to return to this work in 1965 to imbue it with her sophisticated collage painting technique.

This piece, along with two others by Mark, was featured in @RosenbergAndCo’s 2023 exhibition “Collage Selections from Post-War Women.” It also was included in the catalogue for Berry Campbell’s 2024 exhibition “Libbie Mark: Collage Paintings (1950s-1960s).”

#LibbieMark took classes with #VaclavVytlacil at the Art Students League in 1956-1958, with a 1957 summer hiatus in Provincetown at the #HansHofmann School of Fine Arts. The @AslNyc was Mark’s first formal art training in New York City, so she and her husband temporarily rented an apartment so she could take classes there. They permanently relocated from Great Neck, Long Island to New York to be closer to the city’s art scene by 1958.
This 1956 geometric abstract painting features bold horizontal and vertical swaths of what first appeared to be mesh fabric or canvas, but through further close up inspection and photography was later determined to be thickly patterned paint.

On one of the first days to go over 70° in the northeast, with the sun shining and the long cold winter behind us, we are posting artwork today that looks like spring time! Fresh foliage in a landscape, vibrant flowers, and the sparkling blues and greens of unfrozen water… #LibbieMark did not often reference concrete things, working in an Abstract Expressionist style for her mature works, but some of these early paintings do seem to lean more towards the real.
