JENKINS, PAUL
* 12.7.1923 Kansas, † 9.6.2012 Manhattan
Born in Kansas City in 1923, Paul Jenkins was one of the groups of American Abstract Expressionists and became known for his association with the New York School. Jenkins grew up in Kansas and studied at the Kansas City Art Institute after his apprenticeship in a ceramics factory.
In 1948 he moved to New York, where he studied at the Art Students League of New York. There he made the acquaintance of Morris Kantor and Mark Rothko as well as de Kooning, Dubuffet and Pollock. He trained with Yasuo Kuniyoshi, who encouraged him to delve deeply into colour. In New York, Jenkins was a regular visitor to the Frick Museum, where he contemplated the works of Goya, Rembrandt, Turner and Vermeer, learning to appreciate the importance of light. After graduating in 1953, Jenkins went to Europe, Spain and Italy, then to Paris. There he met Dubuffet, Mathieu and Soulages as well as various American artists living in Paris, such as Sam Francis, Lee Krasner and Claire Falkenstein. From then on, Paris and New York became the two cities in which Jenkins spent his entire life. In 1954, Paul Jenkins' first solo exhibition took place at the Studio Paul Facchetti in Paris, where the artist met the gallery owner Martha Jackson and the artist Mark Tobey. In the same year, Jenkins' works were exhibited at the Galerie Arnaud in Paris.
Jenkin's work is characterised by his physical technique, for example, pouring paint directly onto the canvas instead of brushing it, or using unconventional tools such as knives to apply the paint. His vivid use of colour creates compositions that always seem to be in motion.
His works are found in institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Norton Simon Museum in California and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Paul Jenkins died on 9 June 2012 in Manhattan, New York City.
