Rolph Scarlett, untitled drip painting, c.1948-1952, the Sam Esses Estate. Jackson Pollock was employed as a carpenter at the Museum of Non-Objective Art (later the Guggenheim) at the same time that Scarlett was painting works that would go into the museum’s collection, so it is entirely possible that they met, talked, and observed. In any case, their approach to drip was different. Pollock was intensely involved in his work whereas Scarlett too more of an automotist approach. He writes of filling a can hung on a string with paint. Then he would puncture a hole in the bottom and would send the can circling over the canvas. Of smaller things are great movements made.

Hilla von Rebay, art advisor to Solomon Guggenheim and first Director of the Guggenheim Museum, called modernist master Rolph Scarlett her “greatest find.” Under her tutelage, Guggenheim would buy 60 works by Scarlett for his own collection (and later for that of the museum) and another 40 works for friends. When the Guggenheim opened, only Kandinsky had more works represented in the collection than did Scarlett. Lawrence Fine Art is honored to represent the work of Rolph Scarlett. #rolphscarlett @guggenheim #artoftheday #artoftomorrow #modernism #interiordesign #geometricabstraction #abstractart #artonpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iHvEggn4M/?igshid=n3groovpn345

Rolph Scarlett enjoyed a seventy-five (75!) year career as an avant-garde modernist set designer, jewelry designer and painter. His career is tied to the development of the Guggenheim Museum which had 66 of his works in its original collection. Scarlett is best known for his geometric abstractions, but he also created beautiful early modernist works, surrealist works, drip paintings, biomorphic abstractions and abstract expressionist works. He participated in the development of modernism across-the-board. Pictured: Untitled abstraction c. 1955.

A breathtaking early modernist composition by Rolph Scarlett, sometime before 1935.
