An Appreciation
Elizabeth Murray: FORMERLY FLEET 1994-95, oil on canvas on wood, 199 x 76 x 6 ft
Elizabeth Murray died of cancer on Sunday at age 66. I remember reading of her struggle and assumed she would beat it. Her work is so strong she seemed formidable. Her constructed paintings were frank, yet delicate; bold, delightful, curious and eccentric. I've always made time for her work when I'm pounding the pavement or the marble halls in search of inspiration. Her visual language contained an iconography I related to. I definitely want to rewatch her video interview on Art:21.
