Caleb de Jong reviews the exhibition Frederick Hammersley: Organic & Geometric at Ameringer McEnery & Yoe on view through October 8, 2011.

De Jong writes that "Hammersley – who served in the military in WWII and studied in the Ecole de Beux-Arts in Paris where he met Picasso and Braque – fits more easily as an honorary late figure in the School of Paris. Hammersley's simple use of shapes, especially the diagonal and zigzag, distantly yet distinctly mirror Braque's late studio interiors while his bold, intuitive use of color borrows from Miró."
