About

About the Clivette Estate: Four Riders, LLC represents the artwork of Merton Clivette, an American Expressionist painter (1868-1931) and a key figure of the Ashcan Realism School of painting. During the 1920’s his style evolved as he moved from realism toward expressionism eventually moving on to figurative and the abstract. Clivette’s work was ahead of its time in its anticipation of non-representational art and the incorporation of chance effects. These ideas would be explored and developed by Kandinsky (as early as 1911) and later by the Abstract Expressionists, especially Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline and Willem de Kooning in the late 1940’s and 50’s
