Huntington resident Stan Brodsky is a contemporary New York artist who has been exhibited extensively in New York, Long Island and throughout the USA. His work is included in public and private collections throughout the United States. Renowned as a master colorist, Brodsky’s abstract landscapes capture the essence of nature throughout the world, while his figurative work employs color to create highly personal expressionist images. Brodsky, who holds a doctorate degree from Columbia University and a master’s degree from Iowa University, is professor emeritus and former director of studio programming at Long Island University, Brookville. In AB-EX / RE-CON: Abstract Expressionism Reconsidered, a major exhibition at Nassau County Museum of Art through June 16, Brodsky’s work is featured in a focused installation occupying one full gallery.
