Richard Pousette-Dart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Pousette-Dart (June 8, 1916 – October 25, 1992) was an American Abstract Expressionist painter.
He was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota and grew up in Valhalla, New York. He moved to Manhattan in 1937. To support himself, he first served as assistant to the sculptor Paul Manship. During the 1940s, he was active in the avant-garde New York art world; he became one of the youngest members of the emerging group of Abstract Expressionists. In 1951, he moved to Rockland County, New York, where he lived with his wife, the poet Evelyn Gracey, until his death in 1992.

Richard Pousette-Dart and his wife lived in Valhalla, New York, in a large, white house at the corner of Sherwood Avenue and Madison Avenue, at least during early to mid nineteen-sixties, when our family lived next door to them. (We moved away in late 1966, so I don't know how much longer after that they lived there.)
