Richard Pousette-Dart

Richard Pousette-Dart (June 8, 1916October 25, 1992) was an American Abstract Expressionist painter.

He was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota and grew up in Valhalla, New York. Although Richard never attended art school, his father, Nathaniel J. Pousette-Dart, was a painter and writer on art. He moved to Manhattan in 1937. To support himself, he first served as assistant to the sculptor Paul Manship. During the 1940s, he was active in the avant-garde New York art world; he became one of the youngest members of the emerging group of Abstract Expressionists. In 1951, he moved to Rockland County, New York, where he lived with his wife, the poet Evelyn Gracey, until his death in 1992. The Arkansas Arts Center (Little Rock, AR), the Columbus Museum (Columbus, GA), the Delaware Art Museum (Wilmington, DE), the Honolulu Academy of Arts, the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art (Sarasota, FL), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City), the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum (Washington University, St. Louis, MO), the Museum of Fine Arts (Springfield, MA), the National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC), the Newark Museum (Newark, NJ), the Oklahoma City Museum of Art (Oklahoma City, OK), the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery (Lincoln, NE), the Smith College Museum of Art (Northampton, MA), the Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, DC), the Solomon R.
