Not much so for...I don't know, I like it a lot. Not much so for her earlier work, which was perhaps just 'naive' like many other less impressive artists of that time. But some of her pieces here are fantastic, with this skewed sense of space that I love so much. I was already attracted by her colours on the first article, but these sketches of the woman on a chair behind the flowers shows the whole progress. The final piece combine colours from all of them and it really unravels itself as more of a sophisticated composition, due to so many studies. In the end, the work may strike some and not others (nothing more natural than that), but thanks for such lovely interviews and images, it's great to hear it from the artists themselves and taking a peek at their process.<br />C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-47671042484331437722013-06-12T09:39:09.800-04:002013-06-12T09:39:09.800-04:00When I look at this work I can't help feeling ...When I look at this work I can't help feeling that what made 'classic' American illustration great is somehow not present here.I know it's politically correct to say positive things about this kind of 'personal response' to a brief but when compared to Pyle, Wyeth, Leyendecker,Fawcett, Parker, Fuchs, it feels lacking in quality and impact.Maybe it belongs in an art gallery rather than the pages of a commercial publication, but to me the convergence of illustration with fine art created some underwhelming work.<br />That's just my personal opinion.
