  • Roy Newell (Nueva York, 10 de mayo de 1914 - 22 de noviembre de 2006); pintor expresionista estadounidense. Nació el 1914 en Lower East Side de Manhattan, en el seno de una familia de inmigrantes de Europa del Este, junto a tres hermanos. El padre abandonó la familia y crecieron en un ambiente de pobreza, viviendo de los trabajos ocasionales de su madre, analfabeta. De formación autodidacta, apenas fue a la escuela, en la que le gustaba la poesía y el dibujo. Sus principales influencias fueron Cézanne, Malevich y los constructivistas rusos, y los pintores Nabis. Más tarde conocería la obra de Albert Pinkham Ryder, cuyo estudio utilizó, incluso como vivienda, durante un tiempo. A principios de los años 40, se encontró con Willem de Kooning, del que fue amigo, en la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York, ingresando en el círculo de los impresionistas abstractos. Fue miembro fundador del . A lo largo de su carrera, de más de setenta años, pintó menos de 100 obras, debido a su temperamento metódico y perfeccionista, que le obligaba a mejorar los cuadros una y otra vez. Se mantenía apartado del mercado del arte, ya que el dinero no le interesaba, lo que unido a su carácter irascible hizo que fuera poco valorado durante mucho tiempo, a pesar de ser uno de los padres de la abstracción geométrica americana; muy pocos museos tienen un cuadro suyo. Una excepción es el Guggenheim, que posee un óleo cedido por Willem de Kooning. Rara vez iba a sus escasas exposiciones ni promocionaba sus cuadros, dejando a su esposa, Anne Cohen, maestra, las tareas de manutención. Murió en Nueva York el 22 de noviembre de 2006, con 92 años, a causa de un cáncer. * Datos: Q7373207 (es)

He participated in the Group of American Abstract Expressionists and was a founding member of the 8th Street Artist Club, which also included Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, Franz Kline and Philip Pavia. A self-taught artist, Newell was not a prolific painter. His works number less than 100 and were often executed over decades, as he constantly refined his compositions with new colours until satisfied with the result. Due to their continued reworkings, many of his paintings were up to an inch thick when completed, with a combined depth of wood support and layers of meticulously applied paint. Newell exhibited infrequently and sold very few of his paintings during his lifetime. However, his works are in notable public and private collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the New York University Art Collection, the Willem de Kooning Estate, the Elaine de Kooning Trust, the Pollock-Krasner House, Seymour Hacker, and Michael Ovitz, among others. His early influences include Cézanne and Kasimir Malevich. Edvard Lieber (author of Willem de Kooning: Reflections in the Studio) introduced Roy Newell to John Woodward of the Woodward Gallery, NYC, in 1995. Director John Woodward photographed and inventoried all Newell's paintings. From January 18 - March 9, 1996, Woodward Gallery hosted Newell's largest gallery exhibition to date. “Roy Newell: Lifelines: 1955- 1995” was a 40-year retrospective and his first one-man show in a decade. It featured 23 paintings and the critical review of that exhibition was written by Nick Paumgarten “Grumpy Old Artist Gets His Due”, NY Observer, February 24, 1996. Press photos of the opening reception documented the large response of the public and the art world. (en)
