LewAllen Galleries is honored to present Dorothy Browdy Kushner: A force of nature, an exhibition of abstract and landscape paintings by the dedicated California and New York Mid-20th Century Modernist painter Dorothy Browdy Kushner (1909–2000). Opening Friday, March 13, 2026, the exhibition highlights Kushner’s evocative synthesis of color, light, and place, showcasing a rigorous body of work that pushed her subjects, particularly landscapes and florals, toward vigorous abstraction.

Kushner’s diverse oeuvre, created predominantly in Southern California, reveals an artistic journey marked by continuous formal exploration and a powerful command of chromatic potential. Her work evolved from early Cubist-inspired casein on paper or board landscapes—which she termed the “Prismatics”—to gestural abstractions and culminating in her series of acrylic High Horizon Landscapes. These late-period works are characterized by vibrant, expansive fields of hue, often employing a vertically oriented picture plane to enhance the scene’s monumental scale.

The exhibition opens remains on view through April 18, 2026.
