George Vranesh

Art Brokerage: George Vranesh American Artist: b. 1926-2014. George Vranesh's career spanned more than six decades, creating a body of work that chronicled his evolving aesthetic tastes from the American post-war period to his death in 2014. Shortly after completing his master's degree in Anthropology from the University of Iowa, Vranesh enrolled at the Art Students League of New York City in the mid-1950s. There he studied under Will Barnet, who encouraged him to broaden his knowledge of art history and modernist theories. He studied printmaking under Arnold Singer at the Pratt Institute Annex and audited art history classes at the New School in New York City. This exposure to the principals of modernism and art history inspired Vranesh to experiment with his work, persistently reworking compositions and color combinations, at times revisiting them for several years until he was satisfied. Vranesh categorized his process of creating and revising as "correction" if something in the painting didn't work or read easily, and "causation" when making changes of colors and shapes.
