Perle Fine
American, 1905 - 1988
Perle Fine (1905-1988) was an American abstract painter associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement. She was born in Boston and began her artistic career in the 1930s, working primarily in the fields of commercial illustration and graphic design.
In the 1940s, Fine became interested in abstract painting and began to experiment with different styles and techniques. She was heavily influenced by the work of European modernists such as Mondrian and Kandinsky, as well as the Abstract Expressionist painters who were active in New York City at the time.
Fine's work was characterized by its vibrant colors, dynamic forms, and expressive brushstrokes. She was particularly interested in exploring the relationship between color and form, and often used bold, abstract shapes to create a sense of movement and energy in her paintings.
Despite her contributions to the Abstract Expressionist movement, Fine's work has often been overlooked in the mainstream art world. However, in recent years, there has been renewed interest in her work, and her paintings have been featured in major exhibitions at institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C.
