PAINTINGS

LORD OF ABSTRACTION Byron Browne began his career as a painter at the National Academy of Design, but he quit school at 17, becoming an outspoken advocate for abstract artists in the 1930s. Browne went on to establish the American Abstract Artists organization. He exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and the Samuel Kootz Gallery, in the 1930s and ’40s, eventually leaving the Kootz gallery to explore abstract expressionism. At the end of his career, he focused more on method in his work, rather than on ideas. Today, Browne is widely considered among the pioneers of abstract art in America. David Findlay Jr. Fine Art celebrates Browne’s work in a retrospective, and selections include “Stars at Night” (1955), above. Through Saturday, October 27, Monday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–5:30 p.m., David Findlay Jr. Fine Art, the Fuller Building, 41 E. 57th St. at Madison Avenue, 212-486-7660, free.
