Michael Loew

American 1907-1985
Image for Artist Michael Loew
Michael Loew was an American Painter who was part of the abstract expressionist movement. Loew's work contributed to the exploration of abstraction as a means of conveying personal expression and inner emotions. Loew's use of bold, vibrant colors and his emphasis on the power of color as a means of evoking emotions aligned with the principles of color field painting. Loew's art delved into the expressive potential of color and form. He sought to create visually impactful compositions by using vibrant hues, sometimes applied in broad, sweeping brushstrokes. His approach invited viewers to engage with the emotional and sensory aspects of his work. Loew was associated with prominent artists of his time, including Willem De Kooning, Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb, and Barnett Newman. These connections reflect his involvement in a vibrant artistic community, where ideas and techniques were shared, and artistic movements were shaped. Loew's work received critical acclaim during his career. He taught painting at the School for Visual Arts and participated in numerous exhibitions, including solo shows, and garnered recognition for his contributions to the abstract expressionist movement.
