Abstract

Art
Greenberg, Clement | January 24, 1948 issue

add to cart   close window

Carl Holty as a painter seems to have struggled for years with his own greatest gift, his enormously facile draftsmanship, which comes from Germany and submits unwillingly to the canons of post-Cubist art. Holty's latest show, through January 24, in the U.S. is his best yet, for here at last decoration begins to be overcome by easel painting. Holty's color is still, however, much too thin and his handling of surface too transparent, and for these reasons his art still remains trapped in impressionist feeling.
