Raphael Rubinstein blogs about the under-known work of Noël Dolla.
Rubinstein maintains that Dolla has made "...some of the most significant statements in and about painting... with dishtowels, handkerchiefs, fishing lures, pillowcases and rolls of 14-centimeter wide muslin."
Rubinstein also notes that Dolla was "Fascinated by domestic readymades and also by pure color, passionately committed to painting and intelligently irreverent towards its pretensions, equally ready to uphold the legacy of Malevitch and Barnett Newman (his two greatest influences) and to pursue what he has called “humiliated abstraction..."
