In the early to mid 1940s, painters such as Gottlieb, Rothko, and Barnett Newman were also deeply involved in the study of myth as a vehicle and repository of "primal" human expression.
In 1935 Gottlieb became a founding member of "The Ten," a group that advocated abstract and expressionist painting; in 1936 he was put on the payroll of the WPA.
Gottlieb's first retrospective was held in 1968 in simultaneous exhibitions at the Guggenheim and Whitney Museums, New York, in 1968.

Gottlieb's late minimalist works are dialectic, in the sense that the individual parts interact with one another, add up to something, but that something is completely ambiguous.
Gottlieb was the first painter to present his abstractions in the curio cabinet format.
Gottlieb imbued his dots and dashes, jagged edges and spirals with the same psychological value as the faces, fish, hands, and eyes which appear in the same compositions.

 Adolph Gottlieb Summary

In 1937 Gottlieb moved to the desert near Tucson, Arizona, an environment whose flora and relics contributed to a transformation in his subject matter and in his approach to painting.

©Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation/Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY By the end of the 1940s Gottlieb felt the need to change his paintings, even though they were aesthetically and commercially successful.
Gottlieb began a third type of painting in 1951 that he called Imaginary Landscapes (such as Sea and Tide of 1952 and Red at Night of 1956).
Gottlieb's achievement was to make a vital and complex whole from these apparently contradictory forms.

 Adolph Gottlieb - The Seer
Gottlieb’s paintings, with their loose grids enclosing cryptic symbols, resemble the pictographic writing of ancient cultures—whose meaning is often mysterious to the modern mind.
Gottlieb sought to create tensions evoked by the opposition of enigmatic subjective content within a structured format.
Gottlieb emphasized the primitive content of his pictographs by using colors derived from cave painting and Native American art—slate gray, tan, fl, and clay, often applied in layers to suggest archaeological stages.

 Adolph Gottlieb
Gottlieb painted great pictures from the early '40s until his death in 1974.
Gottlieb was never consistent, but he never declined.
(Curiously, Gottlieb was a master graphic artist, but in fl and white his paintings seldom achieved the completeness of Motherwell -- his paintings yearned for resonant colour.) He may well have been the master painter of his generation: he could lay on paint in more different ways than anyone.

In Gottlieb's case, the process of revisionism began in the artist's lifetime, when a 1968 retrospective of his work was divided into two parts: His "Pictographs" of the 40s were shown at the Guggenheim, and his later works were shown at the Whitney.
Echoing these metaphysical painters, Gottlieb and Rothko proclaimed in a 1943 letter to the New York Times that their paintings were not mere abstractions but "a poetic expression of the essence of the myth." What they had in mind, of course, was nothing so crude as legible narrative.
Gottlieb reverses the usual cosmological symbolism that depicts the sun as a generative force bringing life to the dead earth.

Adolph Gottlieb (1903–1974), one of the older Abstract Expressionists, produced hundreds of drawings, several editions of prints and 1,000 paintings during his 50-year career.
As Sanford Hirsch, Executive Director of the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation, writes in the accompanying catalogue: “The prints Gottlieb made between 1933 and 1947… reveal a defining principle of this artist and of the generation of which he was a part.
Gottlieb’s prints are intimate works, some of them made just for himself, some as greetings to be sent to friends; others were intended for public display.” In all his works Gottlieb tried to express his feelings and produce images that the viewer would respond to immediately.

The Brooklyn exhibition and lead catalogue essay by Sanford Hirsch, "Adolph Gottlieb and Art in New York in the 1930s," reveal a complex artist who addressed not his own inner life but the life of his era, in much the same way as did many American artists in the 1940s.
Gottlieb's method was to create an image of the constancy of such feelings and their frequency in human affairs, whatever the historical time or sociopolitical structure.
Gottlieb adopted the pictographic structure because it was a meaningful, culturally diverse pictorial method appearing in forms ranging from Egyptian hieroglyphs and Renaissance predellas to modern abstract images.

Gottlieb creates a tension between the two forms struggling against each other, but in their balance and containment within a field of color, he also achieves a harmonious resolution.
Duncan Phillips acquired his two examples of Gottlieb's work soon after each was painted, evidence of his appreciation of his art.
Although no specific reference to Gottlieb appears in Phillips's surviving writings, he could have had Gottlieb in mind when he declared in 1955, "I admire the aesthetic interpretations of the age we live in—even the symbols for the anarchy, the turmoil and the inner tensions."

Gottlieb, like most Abstract Expressionists, endeavored to make his paintings a reflection of his unconscious.
