    When the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center occurred, Whitten was at his studio on Lispenard Street in Tribeca watching the first plane hit.

    Jack Whitten, a conceptual painter who tested the medium\u2019s limits for more than five decades, has died at seventy-eight. The artist, awarded the National Medal of the Arts in 2016 for \u201cremaking the American canvas,\u201d was dubbed the father of new abstraction by the New York Times. Throughout his career, Whitten eschewed the popular or marketable for what interested him philosophically, and was largely unrecognized by the mainstream until recent years, following a major 2014 retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, California.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
