Welcome to the official site of the Estate of Jack Tworkov
This site is dedicated to the life and work of American painter Jack Tworkov
Jack Tworkov (1900-1982) was a founding member of the New York School and is regarded as one of the great artists, along with Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, Jackson Pollock, and Franz Kline, whose gestural paintings of the 1950s formed the basis for the abstract expressionist movement in America. This site will provide an intimate look at Tworkov's life and practice, his writings and his paintings. The site will highlight Tworkov's historic presence and significant contribution to American Art of the Twentieth Century both as an artist and as a teacher.
