Burhan Doğançay (1929 - 2013)
"dot PE"
Real Objects and Painted Shadows: Doğançay uses many different expressions and ways of painting tor render walls. Some have the rugged and worn look of old walls and torn and decaying posters. Others are more graphic, with large fileds of bright, sharply-contoured colors, of fragments of large letters and numbers, sometimes from familiar logotypes, in clear, unmixed fields of color that fill the canvas: Johnson & Humphrey II (1967) and Composition: Torn Poster (1970) or From Walls 70: No. 45 (1970) and Double O (1970), which seem closer to the almost cartoon-like style of American Pop artists such as James Rosenquist and Roy Lichtenstein or even the work of a proto – Pop artist like Stuart Davis. A stipend to train at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles in 1969 inspired him to work with this more graphic and clear from of composition. The results are visible in the series Breakthrough (1972- 1977) and Ribbons (1972).
