Fuego Espanol, 1980

Robert Kushner  

This vibrant color silkscreen by Robert Kushner, on high-quality wove paper, dates from 1980 and exemplifies the artist's distinctive fusion of pattern, ornament, and figurative imagery. It presents two stylized female flamingo dancers surrounded by exuberant decorative elements, rendered in bold outlines and a rich palette of red, turquoise, gold, purple, and black. This screenprint is based on an original painting by Robert Kushner that is held in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, underscoring the significance of the composition within his oeuvre

The work is hand-signed in pencil “Robert Kushner" at the lower right, and numbered in pencil at the lower left. Sheet size: 42 × 43 cm

Robert Kushner (B. 1949, United States) is closely associated with the Pattern and Decoration movement, which emerged in the United States in the 1970s as a reaction against Minimalism and Conceptual art. In this silkscreen, ornamental motifs inspired by textiles, fashion, and non-Western art traditions play a central role, elevating decoration to a primary expressive force. The interplay between figuration and abstraction reflects Kushner's ongoing interest in sensuality, surface, and visual pleasure.
