Who is Bradley Walker Tomlin?

Bradley Walker Tomlin (August 19, 1899 – May 11, 1953) belonged to the generation of New York School Abstract Expressionist artists. He participated in the famous ‘’Ninth Street Show.’’ According to John I. H. Baur, Curator of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Tomlin’s “life and his play-act were marked by a persistent, restless striving toward perfection, in a in fact classical prudence of the word, towards that “inner logic” of form which would produce a sum harmony, an unalterable rightness, a wisdom of miraculous completion…It was only during the last five years of his liveliness that the plan was fully reached, and his art flowered as soon as a certain strength and authority.”
