Born in 1928, Jacques Corti grew up during the 1950s and was inspired by
the artistic culture of the time. In the Post-War period the lens of
modernism was focused, in terms of internationally, on developments in
New York City. The Second World War had brought many important creatives
to the city in exile from Europe, leading to a noteworthy pooling of
talent and ideas. Important Europeans that came to New York and provided
inspiration for American artists included Piet Mondrian, Josef Albers
and Hans Hoffmann, who between them set the grounds for much of the
United States’ explosive cultural growth in the subsequent decades. Key
artists of the Abstract Expressionist Generation included Jackson
Pollock (who innovated his famed drip, splatter and pour painting
techniques), Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Frank Kline, Barnett
Newman, Clyfford Still and Adolph Gottlieb. It was a male dominated
environment, though necessary reassessment of this period has underlined
the contributions of female artists such as Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell,
and Louise Bourgeois, amongst others.
