    Richard Pousette-Dart (June 8, 1916 – October 25, 1992) was an American abstract artist most prominently recognized as a founding member of the New York School and first-generation abstract expressionist painters.
     
    Pousette-Dart created a lexicon of biomorphic and totemic forms that he applied to symbolically laden compositions through a multitude of painterly approaches. He is additionally recognized for his sculpture and photography, as well as drawing and printmaking that are unified by an expressive use of gesture, color and form. Highly independent in his aesthetic and personal outlook, Pousette-Dart sought universal significance through abstract approaches to art.
