Please have a look at this great painter's work.

An early, c. 1950s work by New York School Artist Charles Cajori. Cajori was a co-founder of the Tanager Gallery, one of the first artist-run cooperatives and subject of the recent exhibition “Inventing Downtown.” He was also a co-founder of the New York Studio School. #charlescajori #tanagergallery #arthistory #inventingdowntown @ny_studioschool #artoftheday #interiordesign #abstractexpressionism #paintingoftheday #modernart https://www.instagram.com/p/CKx45YKARz3/?igshid=vol79uxia63r

We were recently introduced to the work of New York School artist Angelo Ippolito, who founded the famous artists’ collective gallery the Tanager Gallery along with Fred Mitchell in 1952. The Grey Art Gallery at NYU recently mounted an exhibition called “Inventing Downtown” which surveyed the outsized role of these small artist cooperatives. Ippolito was both a painter and a well-respected teacher. His paintings gained acclaim for their “brilliant color” (Fairfield Porter) and “joyous lyricism” (Dore Ashton). Pictured her: “Hold Fast,” from the estate, 1960. #angeloippolito #fredmitchell #tanagergallery #inventingdowntown @nyugrey #artoftheday #paintingoftheday #immigrantartist #abstractexpressionism #abstractpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0sksJAPBV/?igshid=fijz0j14aind

Very serious looking YokoOno "with Toshi Ichiyanagi (at the piano) and Toshiro Mayuzumi at her Chambers Street loft, 1961". Caption and photo lifted from @louismenand article on @nyugrey 's show #inventingdowntown which I actually saw and you should too.
