Women Artists in the Modernist Tradition
I have been collecting women artists in the modernist tradition since 1982. When I began I had a limited art education and a small amount of funds. These reasons alone forced me to seek out the undiscovered, the unknown, and gave me the gift of buying paintings that I responded to on a visceral level. After more than 25 years I now recognize that these paintings carry unifying and significant themes. Some of these themes explore areas that reveal our relationship to nature, some themes turn to a redefining of faith that becomes identified with the study of spirit or life force. Though in theory I’m shaping this collection I continue to find evidence that the collection is shaping me. I’m interested in considering the reasons we connect with these images rather than justifying my reasons for collecting images solely by women artists. For me, a compelling answer lies in the power of these paintings to reveal truths about our connection to nature and to spirit.
