Jonathan Lasker

Jonathan Lasker (born 1948) is an American abstract painter based in New York City whose work has played an integral role in the development of Postmodern Painting. Lasker has been awarded National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship Grants in 1987 and again in 1989.

“I often think of my paintings as a form of image kit or perhaps as jigsaw puzzles, which offer components of painting as clues pointing the viewer, not to a finished narrative (as when the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle completes a picture of Notre Dame), but rather to a self-awareness of how one construes a painting”

Jonathan Lasker: Paintings from Five Decades can be seen at Museum of the recent Art Bucharest (MARe), Romania (20.02- 11.05.2024)
