DESCRIPTION:
"About Time ,But Still Not Enough" according to 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 m. this is a great book. i'm going to Denver this week to scott this is a great book. i'm going to Denver this week to see the exhibit. my favorite section of the book is the biographies in the back.. Beautifully printed. No catalog ever does the paintings as ArtistElaine Beautifully printed. No catalog ever does the paintings as they are but this one comes pretty darn close. Great stories and photographs of the artists
This groundbreaking book reveals the richness of the careers of these important artists and offers keen new reflections on their work and the movement as a whole. Women of Abstract Expressionism is a long-overdue survey. Lavishly illustrated with full-color plates emphasizing the expressive freedom of direct gesture and process at the core of the movement, this book features biographies of more than forty artists, offering insight into their lives and work. . A long-awaited survey of female Abstract Expressionist artists revealing the richness and lasting influence of their work The artists Jay DeFeo, Helen Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan, Elaine de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, and many other women played major roles in the development of Abstract Expressionism, which flourished in New York and San Francisco in the 1940s and 1950s and has been recognized as the first fully American modern art movement. Essays by noted scholars explore the techniques, concerns, and legacies of women in Abstract Expressionism, shedding light on their unique experiences. Though the contributions of these women were central to American art of the twentieth century, their work has not received the same critical attention as that of their male counterparts
