Mary Ann Caws reviews Jon Schueler: The New York Years, 1975-1981 recently on view at David Findlay Jr. Gallery, New York.

Caws writes: "After studying with the great and eccentric Clyfford Still at the California School of the Arts, exhibiting with the Abstract Expressionists in New York, and having endured stints of teaching on the East Coast and in the Midwest, Jon Schueler left New York in 1970 for the isolation and particular weather of the Scottish Highlands. Painting and musing in a place as remote as remote gets, Mallaig, a fishing village near the Isle of Skye (where my ancestors lived in other times), gave him—and now gives us—a remarkable view of his sky, his sea, his land. Back in his New York Studios, on Jones Street, and then in Chelsea, he remembered what he has now, retrospectively, offered us."
