In addition to being a painter, Reinhardt was an incisive critic and art historian. As an undergrad in the 1930s, he began his studies at Columbia University, New York, under Meyer Schapiro, and continued them at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts from 1946 through the time he worked on this picture. By the late 1940s, he had removed all figural references from his work in favor of more rigidly geometric forms.
