In the new exhibition 'Jack Brusca Paintings 1975-1993,' the art curator Daniel Cooney honors the legacy of an artist lost before his time.
In today’s age of ultra-visibility, it’s hard to imagine a Google search for an artist’s name yielding anything less than a page’s worth of search results—but such is the case forBrusca. Born in 1939, Brusca rose to prominence in New York City’s fringe art circuit in the 1970s after staging his first solo show at the
Bonino Galleria in SoHo. It wasn’t long before Brusca’s paintings, known for their lush surrealism and sensual figurative work, made their way into the mainstream—appearing in the Whitney Museum’s collection and making the exhibition rounds at several esteemed institutions and galleries around the city.
Given the artist’s notoriety in downtown circles, his departure from the contemporary art conversation over the last few decades is a mystifying one. When Brusca passed away from AIDS-related complications in 1993—four years after his final solo show at SoHo’s Paraty Gallery—he left a rich archive of paintings and drawings in his wake, but they remained inaccessible to the public.
