Women of Abstract Expressionism
Description
About Time ,But Still Not Enough stringtender this is a very informative catalog. it serves to set right the missing female additions of Abstract Expressionism. It does this I believe, but it could have said more about the artists later working life. the only qualm with the book I have is the second rather wordy art forum styled piece. it may have been well meaning to art historians and I do not believe in dummying down, but this was way off base for anyone that may be a layman of sorts trying to learn.Now on to the work. Of course i wish there were more pictures, of the wor. Highly recommended! This is a wonderful overview of the Women of Abstract Expressionism. It covers the artists that are in the exhibit currently at the Denver Art Museum and many more. The bios always are fascinating.. Jody Palm said Very Nice Art Book. How wonderful! This volume introduced me to a bunch of women artists I hadn't known before. Some I did know and it was great to get more information on them. The book is set up to provide (usually) one page of information on each artist, including a bio and sample of her work. If you're into Abstract Expressionism this is the book for you!
