Carroll Sockwell (1943–1992) was an American artist whose nonrepresentational drawings, paintings, and assemblages drew upon both classical modernist and minimalist traditions and showed an ability to integrate geometric with gestural abstraction. He was known for his ability to introduce nuances of color and emphasis in bare and simple pictorial themes.[1]
Difficult to label, his work was seen as paradoxical: "elegant and anguished, somber and yet playful, rigorous yet free."[2] Throughout his career, he faced challenges that were beyond his control and seemed, as one observer said, to be "an artist who by birth, temperament and timing started out carrying a heavy load."[3] Nonetheless, he also seemed to be his own worst enemy, disregarding the necessity of earning a living and alienating those who tried to help him.[4]
