Po selitvi v New York leta 1956 je postal osrednja figura v razvijajoči se eksperimentalni sceni mesta.

Rosalyn Drexler, rojena Rosalyn Bronznick v Bronxu leta 1926, je umetnica, katere življenjska zgodba se bere kot živahen, nekonvencionalen roman.

Čeprav se je sprva posvečala vokalnemu študiju na Visoki šoli za glasbo in umetnost, se je njena pot po poroki s kolegom umetnikom Shermanom Drexlerjem leta 1946 nenadoma obrnila.

Nicholas Krushenick 1929–1999

American Born: The Bronx ['Pop Abstraction', 'Op Art', 'Minimalism', 'Color Field'] Wikipedia: 4/32 languages

Nicholas Krushenick

As John Perreault observed, despite the “hard black, coloring-book lines,” Krushenick’s work possessed an “emotionally organic” sensibility, executed with “cool precision” and “great gusto.” His use of candy-cane stripes—bold, diagonal bands of color—became a defining motif, adding a dynamic energy to his compositions. Corinne Robins described these paintings as evoking “the buzz of an IBM machine making crazy computations.” Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Krushenick’s canvases became increasingly busy, yet his colors grew quieter, favoring razor-blade-like shapes over softer forms.
