About the Item

This contemporary abstract painting is by Otto Rogers. An acclaimed Canadian artist, Otto Rogers spent decades exploring the interplay of dynamic form, colour and light. His early influences are apparent in this compelling piece—the formal structure of cubism as interpreted by great artists like Picasso. Rogers was one of the earliest ‘adopters’ of acrylic paint in the late 1950s. He painted in layers, and with each layer added subtle but visible texture. This painting exhibits Otto Rogers’ unique visual language—a rare combination of both geometric or architectural forms in darker hues balanced against lighter, and softer coloured atmospheric backgrounds. The muted, earthy shades are characteristic of his preferred palette. “(I ) aim to achieve “the studied atmosphere and mellow light, the (inner) and meditative pursuit,’ that he found in the Old Masters and with the “youthful inventiveness and bold vigour of modern American art.” Otto Rogers “He stands apart from much of Canadian abstract art, in which colourists working with a high-keyed palette so often held the lion’s share of critical attention. This preoccupation with shifts in values reflects Rogers’s love of light. It is tempting to credit that love merely to the vast, sunlit expanse of the prairies he was raised on. But light has a special meaning for him beyond that. He associates it with knowledge and wisdom, in part because of his Baha’i faith.” Ken Carpenter, Professor Art History, York University FRAMED 40.5 × 53.75 in 102.87 × 136.53 cm SIGNED: lower right corner and en verso Otto Rogers (1935-2019) was born in Saskatchewan and acquired his MA in Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin. He later taught art at the University of Saskatchewan for 30 years. Rogers' contribution to teaching and mentoring the next generation of artists cannot be overstated. His work is included in more than 30 public collections across Canada, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, the McMichael Canadian Collection, and the National Gallery of Canada. Rogers’ work is also in the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona and the National Gallery of Iceland, as well as numerous private and corporate collections. Rogers also helped sustain the Emma Lake Workshops, which provided a meeting place for many of North America's most respected visual artists and critics, including Clement Greenberg, Barnett Newman, Jules Olitiski, Kenneth Noland, Jack Shadbolt, and Helen Frankenthaler. In 2007, a book of his work was published that included a foreword by famed British sculptor Sir Anthony Caro.
