Gloria Klein, a NYC based artist , was a founder of the Pattern and Decoration Movement in the 70s . She did paintings & works on paper relating to systems, pattern and decoration, geometric and abstract art in the 1970s and 1980s. Her work was widely exhibited and reviewed, and is in many corporate collections.
Beginning in the 1970s, Klein developed a numeric system by which she could methodically divide her compositions, organize complex patterns, and distribute predetermined colors. Klein’s earliest paintings are composed of hatch-marks and resemble woven textiles; her work later evolved to include squares, bars of color, cruciforms, and combinations of such elements.
