86 www.incollect.com Richard Anuszkiewicz Palm Beach Modern Gallery This mesmerizing acrylic on panel painting by Richard Anuszkiewicz, titled Entrance to Spring, was painted in 1971 yet looks and feels fresh and contemporary. “With their graphic nature and complementary colors which take on different aspects depending on the angle and ambient light, “striking” is how I would describe an Anuszkiewicz painting,” says Palm Beach Modern gallery owner Wade Terwilliger. “His clarity of purpose — ‘I am here to investigate juxtapositions of color and light’ — gives his work strength and intensity, regardless of the color palette or size.” This aspect of his work lends itself to being purely decorative but somehow the artist manages to transcend decoration with his attention to detail and spiritual resonances. “I could see it on an accent wall above a chair in a living room overlooking the ocean,” Terwilliger says.
