"The Fire Within", Colleen Maloney
Beauty Fierce as Stars II, Transcendent Women Painters 1930s and Beyond
September 12 - October 18, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, September 12 5:30 to 8:30 pm
This exhibit, the second in a series, continues to display the work of strong women painters, looking back, beginning in the 1930s, highlighting women who influenced Bay Area art movements of the past and in the ensuing years. This time we are also featuring painters, who we feel had an unique vision, not necessarily following the abstract expressionist trends of the period ( which was our focus in the last women's show). We are including painters from following generations, whose work is infused with an awareness of the past and who continue on with their own powerful creations.
Featured Painters
Ariel, Ruth Asawa, Adelie Landis Bischoff, Katherine Barieau, Frances Dunham Catlett,
Anna W. Edwards, June Felter, Hildegarde Haas, Colleen Maloney, Jennifer Pochinski,
Barbara Scales, Louise Smith, and Edith Park Truesdell.
