Larry Groff publishes a tribute to painter Gabriel Laderman (1929-2011). Groff writes "Laderman was a significant representational painter and teacher and was instrumental in the revival of figurative art in the 1960s. He studied with a number of leading American painters, including Hans Hofmann, de Kooning, and Rothko."  The post includes images of Laderman's landscape, figure, and still life paintings as well as excerpts from articles by Jed Perl and Lincoln Perry.
