| Summary |
"Dorothy Fratt is being published in conjunction with the first major US museum exhibition on the prolific, yet underrecognized, American painter Dorothy Fratt (1923-2017). Born in Washington, DC, and associated with the Washington Color School in the early 1950s, Fratt moved to Arizona in 1958 and would go on to forge her own style of abstraction more closely tied to the Southwest United States. Although Fratt's paintings are often classified as color field and Abstract Expressionist, her use of color and expression of her surroundings evolved into a prolific body of work that idiosyncratically emotes landscape, atmosphere, gesture, and mood on her own terms. Spanning five decades of the artist's oeuvre, Dorothy Fratt will include a selection of foundational early works alongside numerous paintings that exemplify Fratt's vibrant and distinct style of abstraction. The book also features an extended biography, ephemera from Fratt's life, and a conversation with contemporary artists Teresa Baker, Caroline Kent, and Rebecca Ward." -- Provided by publisher. |
