Artforum said (in ’72…) of Augustus “Urbane, charming, portraitist to the rich and famous, connoisseur of wine, executor of mural commissions for church and state, Augustus Vincent Tack (1870–1949) was not an artist to whom one would look for radical painting. Yet, perhaps it was just this aloofness from the Bohemianism of the 1920s that enabled him to produce a remarkable body of abstract painting.”
