I continue from yesterday with more abstract female artists. This is by Alma Thomas. I like her use of repetition and pattern in these red dots. Everyone loves dots. Please excuse my calling them dots, its from lack of a better descriptive word. These are by Anne Appleby. She has a large body of work, but they remind me very much of paint chip samples. Not sure I can appreciate them except in their lovely colors. Aurelie Nemours uses strong colors and geometric shapes that instantly could become quilts. Elaine de Kooning paints very appealing portraits that I feel are grabbing the essence of the sitters. Sort of sketchy but complete all the same... slightly abstracted persons. Here is Ethel Schabacher. Wow, her use of color is right in line with my idea of fun and glory. Its just great! Next up is Sonia Delaunay. I love her color and appealing compositions. Abstract, but you see the dancer. Gillian Ayres - love these strong paintings. They seem to be telling us a story and using symbols to help illustrate it. As you can see by now, I love most all of these, otherwise I would not have been drawn to them. Natalia Oncharova from Russia reminds me a little of Gauguin. I know I will come back to her work to study it. Grace Hartigan is next, strong colors and composition. Here are works by Howardena Pindell. She obviously doesn't limit herself to the flat paint surface, but is performing her own surface design as well. She also has a great sense of humor. Check out her title further down. Again I regret I cannot find titles for all these works. So many inspiring artists!! Here are two works from Joan Snyder. It may be difficult to impossible to insert this next to Natalia's other works, but I had this one from her also. Lenore "Lee" Krasner and Jackson Pollock were a couple, but she had her own style. Some critics say there was cross pollination there. Julie Mehrutu has a different style, more linear but combining color into it her work too. Last but certainly not least, two more from Gillian Ayres.
