Pierian Press :: Arthur Secunda: Paintings and Engraved Wood Panels |
 | | In the 1960s the daring social statements of his bold collages were a sensation; in the 1970s he created haunting abstract landscapes with strips of torn paper which, with the popular and much-imitated prints they generated, were to become one of the established graphic conventions of the decade. |
 | | Secunda's recent paintings, in every permutation of oil, acrylic, enamel, and mixed media on canvas, wood, and paper, are a new departure; and yet it may be said of him as of any authentic artist that a thread of continuity binds his latest work with what has come before. |
 | | Paintings and prints by Secunda are in the permanent collections of the New York Public Library, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, the Bibliotheque National of Paris, the National Gallery in Washington, New York's Museum of Modern Art, Chase Manhattan Bank, the Bank of America, Sears, and Standard Oil. |
