Robert Moskowitz

An excellent survey of Moskowitz's undeservedly little-known work, occasioned by a retrospective ten years ago at the Hirschhorn (Rifkin is a curator there). Moskowitz works in the intersection between abstract and representational art. His paintings and collages grow on you without assaulting you with meanings. I would strongly recommend his work--and this book--if you are new to abstract or 20th century art, and want to ease you way into it. Rifkin's interview with the artist is especially illuminating.
