Artists in conversation

Wolf Kahn
American · b. 1927

Wolf Kahn similarly painted American landscapes with bold expressive brushwork and vibrant saturated color, often focusing on trees and natural forms rendered through a balance of abstraction and figuration that closely mirrors Bradford's approach in Two Tree Island.

Joan Mitchell
American · b. 1925

Mitchell's large scale acrylic and oil paintings translate natural landscapes and organic forms into energetic gestural mark making with colorful, emotionally expressive brushwork that shares the same dynamic abstracted quality seen in Bradford's island painting.

Cecily Brown
British · b. 1969

Brown works in a similarly bold and expressive painterly tradition on canvas, merging figuration with abstraction through loose energetic brushstrokes and rich color fields that echo the contemporary gestural landscape sensibility Bradford demonstrates in Two Tree Island.
