John Mandel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Mandel is one of the first photorealists to emerge in New York. His figurative oil and acrlic paintings, often monochromatic, were a departure from ordinary subject depiction. His works involved movement in compressed space. Mandel's work was exhibited at Max Hutchinson Gallery in SOHO and in the first bienniel exhibition at the Whitney Museum. He taught at Pratt Institute in the 1970's and now teaches at California Institute of the Arts.
