	arborweb reviews - review: Kamrowski's last hurrah
		But in 1946 Kamrowski effectively aborted his fast-track career to accept a teaching job at the U-M. Because of this self-imposed exile from the center of the modern art world, Kamrowski's work never gained the wider attention and acclaim it deserved.
		Born in northwestern Minnesota, Kamrowski arrived in New York in 1938 and became a fixture in the downtown art crowd.
		Kamrowski never publicly admitted regret; indeed, he often said, "If I'd stayed in New York I'd either be very rich or I'd be dead" — an obvious allusion to the abbreviated lives of Pollock and Baziotes.

		Constantly challenging himself as well as his viewers, Kamrowski has been engaged in a lifelong search for new and exciting ways to represent the themes that interest him.
		The energy created through his juxtaposition of dissimilar colors is a consistent trait in his art, as is the continuing presence of the curvilinear biomorphic forms first found in his earliest Surrealist works.
		Unafraid to try on a multitude of styles, Kamrowski’s art demonstrates significant growth and development in a relatively short period of time.

		One of Kamrowski's vigorous works of this period, Eye of Darkness (1940), is a Miroesque abstraction with a disembodied eye at its center and a fl orb, haloed in dark red, hovering above an eerie landscape with conical fl mountains; an irregular tracery of delicate white lines--some dotted, others continuous--meanders spectrally across the surface.
		Kamrowski joined a group of downtown artists (including William Baziotes, Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell and Peter Busa), who met weekly in Matta's Greenwich Village studio to critique one another's work and to explore the possibilities of automatic techniques.
		Kamrowski composed the boxes, which are wider than they are tall, by inserting two or more layers of fl paper, into which he cut out freely rounded holes to reveal recessed vignettes of his intricately detailed, biomorphic drawings.

	Michigan in the News—Stephen M. Ross School of Business
		ANN ARBOR, Mich. – American artist Gerome (Jerry) Kamrowski was a well-known figure at the University of Michigan School of Art where he taught for 40 years, but few could have predicted his surrealistic works one day would become popular among Business School students and faculty.
		The immense piece depicting five fanciful creatures was such a hit that the School's Art Acquisition Committee decided to purchase two Kamrowskis by using a sizeable contribution to the Art Fund from the Charles H. Ihling (MBA '79) Memorial Fund.
		During the 1930s and early 1940s, Kamrowski worked in New York with such artists as Robert Motherwell and Jackson Pollock and helped spearhead the development of American Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism.

		Ann Arbor artist Gerome Kamrowski worked in New York in the 1930s and early 1940s with such artists as William Baziotes, Robert Motherwell and Jackson Pollock, and was at the forefront of the development of American Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism.
		For the last half-century, Kamrowski has continued to work in his Ann Arbor studio, creating colorful and exuberant paintings, sculptures, wind machines, domes, fantastic beaded wooden creatures, installations for public spaces, and the varied elements of the glass and tile mosaic projects that have most recently claimed his interest.
		Although Kamrowski's work represented in the gallery covers a wide time range—from early work on paper to a recent series of mosaic constructions—the sustained quality, vision and essential optimism of Kamrowski's work are clear.

	Charles Seliger / The Art of Organic Forms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		By appropriating the Surrealist technique of automatism, artists such as Peter Busa, Arthur Dove, Gerome Kamrowski, and Boris Margo found their voices in what Theodoros Stamos called, "abstract surrealism," now known as organic abstraction.
		These artists were not consciously aware that the forms in their paintings resembled elements found in nature.
		Like many artists of his generation, Seliger was deeply influenced by the Surrealists' use of automatism, and throughout his career he has cultivated a deeply poetic style of abstraction that explores the relationship of order and chaos found in nature.

		The surrealist, dream-like imagery of Dali, Ernst and Magritte was undergoing a change.
		I, along, with Baziotes, Stamos and Kamrowski, began to turn to the paint, itself, a subconscious searching through the use of automatism for a personal expressive imagery, that resulted in an abstract form of surrealism.
		This new imagery reflected the natural world, a new landscape in the age of the electron microscope and the airplane, and revealed a new reality in the macro world of nature.”
