About this work

John Hultberg was an American artist, widely known as an Abstract expressionist and Abstract realist painter.He was influenced greatly by his time at Monhegan Island, off the coast of Maine where he split his time between there and New York City. Hultberg primarily created paintings that were minimalist and dark, and Surrealist invented landscapes. He has been described as an Abstract realist, one who combines abstract and concrete with attention to detail, bold colors, and strong design.

?Mr. Hultberg made a name for himself in the 1950?s with powerful landscapes, fractured into slabs under ominous horizons; multiplicities of bizarre, huddled shapes; and dense, semiabstract urban wastelands dappled with harsh brilliance and vague human touches. Their air of mystery and forceful use of color earned him awards at exhibitions that began in the 1950?s and continued for five decades.? ? Wolfgang Saxon, The New York Times

Hultberg?s works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York; Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois, the University of Arizona and Guggenheim Museum, New York.
