Provincetown Artists: Fritz Bultman

Another from the Hans Hofmann school of Provincetown abstraction. Trends be damned, I always have and always will love musical, dynamic abstract (or as they called it a century ago, non-objective) art. It has something to do with my deep affection for jazz. Writing in The Tides of Provincetown, Deborah Forman confirms that: "Bultman's collages ... are composed of large pieces of paper painted in glowing colors in gouache and convey a rhythm that was likely influenced by the jazz of his native New Orleans." These images are taken from a great Bultman gallery at the website Proteus Mag. Oh, I almost forgot, Fritz Bultman lived from 1919 - 1985.
