Timeline

1920

His father, Marcus Quaytman, was a 1920 Jewish immigrant from Lodz, Poland and a certified public accountant, and his mother Rose Quaytman was a piano teacher from Lawrence, Long Island, New York.

1937

Harvey Quaytman (April 20, 1937 - April 8, 2002) was a geometric abstraction painter best known for large modernist canvases with powerful monochromatic tones, in layered compositions, often with hard edges - inspired by Malevich and Mondrian.

He had more than 60 solo exhibitions in his career, and his works are held in the collections of many top public museums.

Harvey Quaytman was born on April 20, 1937 in Far Rockaway, Queens, New York.

1940

In 1940 his father and grandfather were killed in a train crash in Queens NY.

1955

From 1955-1957, he attended Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, but graduated in 1959 with a BFA from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA.

1960

During his career, from the late 1960s to late 1990s, he continued to relentlessly explore Geometric Abstraction and Modernism - fields in which the innovation had been considered largely developed by the end of the 1950s and 1960s.

Yet he pushed ahead, and according to critics he became bolder over time - more innovative, assured and successful in each decade.

Even in his later years, he was recognized for finding dynamic, new forms of abstraction.

In the late 1960s and 1970s, situated in settings like the Whitney Biennials, his paintings were easily recognized among the crowd due to his masterful use of shaped canvases.

They were large, often curved, and frequently enclosing wall space.

The painting itself blended elements from abstract expressionism and geometric abstraction, over time shifting further towards geometry.

The surfaces were never simple.

1961

It was there he met and married fellow painting student, future award-winning American postmodern poet Susan Howe, and in 1961 they had a daughter, Rebecca Quaytman, who is now a well-regarded abstract painter.

1963

In 1963 the family moved to Soho, New York City, but two years later the parents divorced, and Susan married Harvey's close friend, sculptor David von Schlegell.

1966

In 1966 Harvey met and later married the painter Frances Barth.

1969

He frequently blended rust (which he first used in 1969) and acrylic, as well as glass - creating a spectrum of textures.

1972

In both 1972 and 1975, he was awarded a CAPS Grant, and in both 1979 and 1985, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.

1980

They were together until their divorce in 1980.

By the 1980s, he returned to the rectangular and square canvas, and eventually to the cruciform (cross) shape, which would become a focus for the next decade.

"Harvey Quaytman's shaped canvases are among the most impressive;" and "Some of the best shaped canvases of the last two decades have come from Harvey Quaytman. But in this selection of new work, the painter has, so to speak, drawn in his horns, confining himself to the right angle and in most cases to a cruciform image."

1983

In 1983, he received an Artist’s Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, and by 1993 he became a Member of the National Academy of Design.

1986

-Vivien Raynor, New York Times, 1986

1989

In November 1989, Quaytman was married for a third time, in his studio, to Margaret Moorman, a writer.

Their daughter Emma was born in 1989.

1990

By the 1990s, he had abandoned the curve, and remained fixed to the cross, often in the shape of the canvas or upon it.

1994

In 1994, he won the Elizabeth Foundation Prize for Painting, and finally, in 1997, he received the Academy Award in Art from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

In the context of artistic movements, Harvey Quaytman was considered an anachronism.

1998

After 1998, he was unable to work.

2002

Harvey Quaytman died in New York on April 8, 2002, from cancer.

After his death in 2002, McKee Gallery, his longtime representative, organized a lauded retrospective titled "Harvey Quaytman: A Survey of Paintings and Drawings 1969-1998".

2005

Later retrospectives were organized by McKee in 2005, "Harvey Quaytman’s current show, Flying the Colors, is strong, deep, and soaring. A celebration of the artist’s bold color work, it features twelve outstanding paintings drawn from the past twenty-five years."

2011

-Michael Brennan, Brooklyn Rail; and 2011, "Harvey Quaytman: A Sensuous Geometry, Works from 1986-1997" "Quaytman’s paintings are extremely cerebral, yet full of sensual grace. He moved abstract painting beyond the mundane into the realm of cognitive understanding through a heightened sensory involvement with materials and an ultimate clarity of space."

-Robert C. Morgan, Brooklyn Rail Photos of the exhibit were posted by Contemporary Art Daily.

2018

In 2018 the Berkeley Art Museum mounted a retrospective and symposium, "Harvey Quaytman: Against the Static."

Today, his works are in the collections of several public museums:

Quaytman's remaining work is represented by McKee Gallery in New York, Blum & Poe in Los Angeles, and Nielson Gallery in Boston.
