On the surreal figuration of an influential postwar artist, covering four decades of paintings, sculptures, drawings and filmWorking in the wake of postwar trauma and traversing the European and American avant-gardes, the prolific Polish-born painter Maryan (né Pinchas Burstein, 1927-77) created a thrilling post-expressionist vocabulary that has never seemed so prescient.My Name Is Maryan explores the totality of Maryan's career, including how his work was impacted by his firsthand experiences of the Holocaust; his dialogue with peers, from CoBrA artists such as Constant, Asger Jorn and Pierre Alechinsky to his American circle of artists, particularly H.C. Westermann, June Leaf and Leon Golub; his black-and-white works of the 1950s; and a recreation of his studio at the Chelsea Hotel, where he made his final works in the 1970s.Maryan's historically important single-figure Personnage paintings--highly influential on artists such as Caroll Dunham and Eddie Martinez, and first shown in Paris in 1960--are included, recreating the bulk of that exhibition for the first time.
