Beatriz Milhazes' flowers undergo endless variations. One moment they are naturalistically painted, another moment they are abstractly transformed or only graphically suggested. Demonstrating the depth and versatility of her chosen subject, this book accompanies the first solo exhibition of Beatriz Milhazes in Germany. Here she is in conversation with Sebastian Preuss discussing her work and the inspiration behind it. (OCLC)
"During the 1980s my paintings were developed using different technical possibilities of making a surface. I always liked the idea of paint, but was using elements of collage and printing... and glued them onto my canvas. I experimented a lot because I always wanted to be a painter but I never liked the gesture of the artist or the brushstroke showing the painterly process." Item #51582
