Nanno de Groot Abstract Expressionism-New York School 1950s



Marika Herskovic

Nanno de Groot was born in Northern Holland in 1913. He came to the United States when he was 33 years old. He settled in New York in the late 1940’s and spent summers in Provincetown, MA, where he died in 1963 at the age of fifty. Nanno de Groot’s paintings carrier grew out of the magic circle of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline that later became known as the New York School. Although his life was cut short his work presents a shining testimony of the American abstract expressionist movement of the 1950’s.
Nanno de Groot is included in each of the following books with two full-page color reproductions of his artwork, statement and biography:

  1. Interesting video and talk about the artist – inspiring = and somehow the linear figures and bird series reminded me of the Danish artist Carl Henning Pedersen
