Vincent Smarkusz

Undiscovered American Genius in Modern Art

The Nest

Time: 
1953

"Fusionism" - a conceptually and visually abstract fusion of Expressionism with Surrealism, began to emerge in Smarkusz's work of the early 1950's.  See "Fusionism" and Interpreting "The Nest" for an introduction to this obscure style which fuses sensual forms with mythical themes and abstract symbolism.
