Myron Stout's Pared-Down Geometric Abstractions

Myron Stout's artistic output was remarkably small, with fewer than two dozen paintings and an equal number of graphite pencil drawings produced throughout his lifetime. Despite this, he is known for his distinctive style, which focused on rounded, archaic forms from the mid-1950s until 1980 when blindness forced him to stop painting. A recent exhibition at Peter Freeman, Inc., featuring 35 charcoal drawings by Stout, revealed a decisive and searching quality in his work after he shifted away from geometric figures towards pared-down geometric abstraction. The drawings, made on identically sized sheets of Strathmore paper between the 1940s and 1952, demonstrate Stout's ability to achieve a range of subtle tones using graphite pencil marks on even surfaces of gray.
