Endless Line and Self Portrait: Works by Pat Steir
CompletedApr 4, 2013 – Jun 16, 2013
Pat Steir with Newcomb Art Department students. Since the late 1980s, internationally renowned artist Pat Steir has been known for her dripped and splashed waterfall imagery that reveal her interest in 19th-century Romantic paintings, Abstract Expressionism, Chinese landscape painting, and the Chinese convention of flung ink painting.
A lesser-known but equally significant part of Steir’s oeuvre are the wall drawings and installations. When inserted into architecture, these installations transform painting into a three-dimensional experience.
As Steir has observed, “Installation allows the artist to paint out of the painting and into space and the viewer to move from space into a painting—the space where the act of painting takes place is in the imagination of the viewer.”
For this exhibition, Steir worked with Newcomb Art Department students to create Endless Line and Self Portrait, two site-specific installations in the gallery.
