Michael Corinne West, born Corinne Michelle West, is an unsung founder of New York’s Abstract Expressionist movement. The painter and poet was a contemporary of Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline, and her studio practice was intuitive and ever-evolving: It leapt from heavily impastoed Cubist works to large-scale action paintings and explosive, collage-like compositions.
