Rosemarie Beck
Mar 25, 2023
Rosemarie Beck (1923–2003) emerged from the second generation of Abstract Expressionists, though her tenure as an abstract painter was brief. By 1958, she had moved completely away from non-objective painting into figuration, a decision that would alter the course of her career.”Rosemarie Beck’s work was first and foremost formal. Always forming, constantly composing, she respected the whole. Every stroke or spot changed and challenged what had gone before. Choosing as themes the great classical narratives, she remade them as contemporary dramas of color and light.”
