#art, The Art of Rosemarie Beck

Well she was greatly celebrated during the 1950’s and her works were purchased by such notable establishments as the Whitney Museum of American Art… She was born in Westchester, New York… Her work, during the 40’s and 50’s, abstract art, earned her quite a reputation. Then she was lost to art history… Although she started her career calling herself an abstract expressionist, by the late 1950’s she had switched to figurative… She taught art at Queens College of New York among other institutions… She died in New York at the age of 80 in 2003… Why do I feature her? One plain and simple reason, she is a recognised (by art history) woman artist that has been thrown into the rubbish bin much too soon and without any reason. I do believe that if you are an artist, or a student of art, you should know as much as possible about any and all artists that have ever figured in art history (or that should). So here are a few samples of her work.

    It’s true many exceptional women are often overlooked and disregarded in art history. I’m glad you’re spotlighting her here. Her work is great!
