Albert Kotin belonged to the early generation of New York School Abstract Expressionist Artists whose artistic innovation by the 1950s had been recognized across the Atlantic including Paris. New York School Abstract Expressionism represented by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline and others became the leading art movement of the postwar era.
Albert Kotin is included in each of the following books with two full-page color reproductions of his artwork, statement and biography:

  1. A wonderful short film. Watching videos like this definitely inspire me to continue creating my own work and attempting to get it out there into the public eye. Thank you.

  2. Thanks so much for posting this wonderful film.  Al Kotin was a friend of mine in the late 1960s and early '70s and I saw several of his paintings and part of the large very powerful "crucifixion" installation at his studio, which was then on Bond Street.  I still cherish a whimsically illustrated  envelope and letter he sent me. Great artist and lovely man!

  3. I find it interesting how Kotin shifted from formal training to abstract expressionism. To me this indicates an artists awareness that the art experience is a direct sensation of an object. A 'picture' will direct your powers of perception away from the reality of what confronts you. You look for recognition rather than a direct sensation. In my opinion, this work is an attempt to experience color and form in a direct primal way. See also – Looking at Abstract Expressionist Painting in 2011.
