Bolotowsky had a difficult childhood, which entailed immigrating to New York from Russia via a two-year interlude in Constantinople. After the “violent historical upheavals in my early life,” he once stated, “I came to prefer a search for an ideal harmony and order.” These qualities are manifest in White Oval, one of the artist’s most serene compositions.
