Never Displayed masterpieces of Nissan Engel which represent his artistic transcendence are on exhibition in New York starting May 16th, by appointment only.
Engel’s breakthrough came by adopting the invisible world of music as an inspired underpinning for creating dense mixed-media color abstractions on blotter paper which he worked with in his etching studio, La Metairie Bruyere.
Within these late works you can experience the entire arc of Engel’s life and inspirations.
Everything Engel did over the decades preceding these collages are in preparation for these masterpieces. This collection of original works from his Atelier were created in the last four years of his life.
Engle’s final meditation on figuration, before his passing in 2016 takes the organic form of a single tree, painted on a white ground in which we can experience the love he felt for the small apple tree outside his studio in Normandy.
This works pays homage to Rembrandt’s Three Trees.
