Jules Olitski was an abstract painter, printmaker, and sculptor. In 1969, he became the first living artist to have a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This exhibition began at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and then traveled to the Albright-Knox and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
