Herbert Ross
Herbert Ross (1929-1995) was an American painter whose works explore the boundaries of representation and abstraction. He was born in a rural town in Pennsylvania and moved to New York City in 1953 to study painting at the Art Students League. During the 1950s and 1960s, Ross was part of the avant-garde art scene in New York, cultivating friendships with other artists such as Ad Reinhardt and Robert Rauschenberg. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Ross developed a style of painting characterized by layered shapes, that often depicted abstract elements with both a vector and a color field. His works explored themes of interconnectivity and transformation, pushing against the limits of two-dimensional representation. Some of his most famous works include Circles (1959), Bird (1960), and New York Park (1960).
