American painter Lee Mullican (1919-1998) is revered for his uniquely West Coast exploration into abstraction, grounded in content, full of mysticism and connections to the transcendent.
Lee Mullican (191998) was best known for his inimitable West Coastinspired explorations in abstraction, infused with mysticism and the transcendent. First exhibited as part of the pivotal exhibition of the Dynaton Group, which Mullican cofounded with fellow artists Gordon Onslow Ford and Wolfgang Paalen, his works are today widely collected and held in the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Metropolitan Museum of Art, among many others.
The first book in more than a decade to focus on this important figure in twentieth-century American art, Cosmic Theater: The Art of Lee Mullican surveys a key theme running through the artists career, framing his unusual hybridization of symbolic figuration, abstracted landscapes, and abstract space with his long-time fascination with the sky and the galaxy beyond. The book explores the development of Mullicans work in the context of his time and his biography, looking also at the implications of Jungian philosophy in relation to his admiration of pre-Columbian and Native American cultures. Michael Aupings essay is complemented by fifty full-color illustrations, featuring major rare paintings and drawings by Mullican from the 1940s to the 1970s.
