Robert Beauchamp: Four Decades of Works on Paper
A Gift from the Collection of Nadine Valenti Beauchamp
January 25 - March 28, 2018
Curated by Maurie Geracht, Roger Hankins and Leslie Schomp

Robert Beauchamp (1923 1995) created a vast number of works on paper as well as paintings from the 1950s to early 1990s. A student of Hans Hoffman in Provincetown, Massachusetts in the early 1950s, the artist moved to New York in the mid 1950s where he soon began to show his work in both one-person and group exhibitions. Beauchamps style, although rooted in abstraction under the influence of Hoffman, soon veered toward figurative expressionism, which sustained his art practice for the next four decades.
