COLE, MAX
* 14.2.1937 Hodgeman County, Kansas
Born in 1937 in Hodgeman County, KS, Max Cole received her BFA from Fort Hays State University in Kansas and her MFA from the University of Arizona in Tucson. Influenced by the Suprematist works of Kazimir Malevich in the late 1950s, she began creating paintings that reflected on time with simple forms. The artist lives and works in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Today, Cole's works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others.
With a synchrony of meticulous precision and clarity, the American artist creates works that radiate both lightness and inner peace. Since the early 1970s, Cole's paintings and drawings, run through with fine horizontal lines, have been founded on a working principle that has hardly changed to this day. By using the colours black, white, grey and, rarely, pastel shades, the artist lays parallel horizontal stripes across the entire background of her paintings. The resulting rhythm is punctuated by regular, ultra-thin vertical hairline strokes.Cole is often associated with Post-Constructivist, Post-Minimalist and Concrete movements because she produces her works in series.Works from our auctions
