203 Fine Art and the Estate of Lee Mullican presents a selection of paintings from the 1950s by the celebrated Taos Modern, Lee Mullican (1919-1998). These abstracted paintings, dated 1956 to 1958, were created shortly after Mullican’s move to Los Angeles, marking a subtle yet striking shift in his practice. There becomes a lightness, with joyous elements of playful energy seemingly related to Mullican’s admiration of composer John Cage and three years spent in the festive culture of Sao Paulo, Brazil, on an artist exchange program.
