Louvre Painting at Gallery 4

In 1971, the Louvre
exhibition “Bain turc d’Ingres”, paid

homage to Ingres’ famous odalisque paintings and their

influence on modern art. The exhibit included works by

Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, Man Ray and three paintings

by a young American artist, Harry Nadler.

Now,
Gallery
4 presents "Harry Nadler: Ingres to Geometric
Abstraction".



"Nocturnal Odalisque", one of the three Nadler homage paintings shown in the

Louvre exhibit (and kept privately by Nadler’s widow), can be seen in the Gallery 4

retrospective. Nearby, the semi-abstract figures of the Ingres series
mutate into

Mondrian-like grids announcing Nadler's march to pure geometric abstraction.

Nadler's work is in the permanent collections
of the Solomon R. Guggenheim

Museum, the Fine Arts Museum of Santa Fe, and the Cincinnati Art Museum

among many others.  His numerous one-man
shows include the Bertha

Schaeffer Gallery (1969,1972) and David Findlay Gallery (2006) in New
York. 

The exhibit will run until November 20, 2011.
Gallery hours are Wednesday to
Saturday, 11-5, Sunday 12-5. Gallery 4 is located at 3848 Main Road in Tiverton 4

Corners, RI, 02878. • 401-816-0999. Inquiries: Bob
