About Lee Gatch
Lee Gatch (1902–1968) was an American painter born in Baltimore. He studied with John Sloan and Leon Kroll at the Maryland Institute, continued at the Art Students League, and worked in France in the mid-1920s, including study at the Académie Moderne. Cubist structure remained important as his painting moved through landscape, industrial subjects, abstraction, and symbolic imagery.
Gatch showed briefly with The Ten in 1936–37 and appeared in fourteen Whitney annuals between 1937 and 1965. A 1960 Whitney retrospective traveled to eleven venues. Working near Lambertville, New Jersey, he developed paintings that incorporated collage, stained canvas, sand, sandstone, oil, and graphite. His work represented the United States at the Venice Biennale in 1950 and 1956.
