John Button (1929–1982) was an American artist, well known for his city-scapes.〔http://www.nytimes.com/1982/12/15/obituaries/john-button-dies-cityscape-painter.html〕〔http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A6604&page_number=1&template_id=6&sort_order=1〕 Educated at the University of California, Berkeley then moved to New York City in the early 1950s. He became friends with Fairfield Porter and Frank O'Hara and assumed his part in the New York School of Painters and Poets. Amidst the frenzy of Abstract Expressionism, Button remained true to his interest in realism, and is now most commonly associated with such New York School artists as Fairfield Porter, Jane Freilicher, and Alex Katz. John Button was a fine draftsman and drew from life models throughout his career. However, little known are his sketches of male nudes – studio models from the School of Visual Arts, where Button taught, as well as personal acquaintances. ==Exhibitions== 〔http://www.artnet.com/artist/3419/john-button.html〕〔http://johnbuttonartist.com/bio.html〕 * 2009 "John Button, Reflections on Light," Bernhard Goldberg Fine Arts, East Hampton, NY * 2007-08 "John Button (1929-1982): Paintings and Drawing from the Estate," ClampArt, New York City * 1995 "Mexico 1958," Fischbach Gallery, New York City * 1994-95 "The City: New York Visions 1900-1995," ACA Galleries, Lizan-Tops Gallery, East Hampton, New York * 1994-95 "New York Realism Past and Present," Odakyu Museum, Odakyu, Japan * 1994-95 "New York Realism Past and Present," Kadoshima Dity Museum of Art, Tokyo, Japan * 1994-95 "New York Realism Past and Present," Kitakyushu Municipal Museum of Art, Kitakyushu, Japan * 1994-95 "New York Realism Past and Present," The Museum of Art Kintetsu, Osaka, Japan * 1994-95 "New York Realism Past and Present," Fukushima Prefectural Museum of Art, Fukushima, Japan * 1994-95 "New York Realism Past and Present," Tampa Museum of Art Tampa, Florida * 1994-95 "Male Desire," Mary Ryan Gallery New York * 1993 "The Collection: Porter's Circle," Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, New York * 1993 "Excellence in Watercolor," New Jersey Center for Visual Arts, Summit, New Jersey * 1992 "Studies Enroute," Benton Gallery, Southampton, New York * 1991 "John Button’s New York," Fischbach Gallery, New York City * 1990 "John Button," Fischbach Gallery, New York City * 1989-90 "John Button: Retrospective Exhibition," Currier Gallery of Art, Manchester, New Jersey * 1989-90 "John Button: Retrospective Exhibition," Stamford Museum and Nature Center, Stamford, Connecticut * 1989-90 "John Button: Retrospective Exhibition," Rahr-West Art Museum, Manitowoc, Wisconsin * 1989-90 "John Button: Retrospective Exhibition," Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Salt Lake City, Utah * 1988 "The Face of the Land," Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, Loretto, Pennsylvania * 1985-87 "American Realism: Twentieth Century Drawings and Watercolors from the Glenn C.
