Three
Artists- Three Women
$34.95 plus shipping/handling
This original and sharply obser-vant book gives new significance to three
important figures in the history of twentieth-century art: Eva Hesse, Lee
Krasner, and Georgia O'Keeffe. Anne Wagner looks at their imagery and careers,
relating their work to three decisive moments in the history of American
modernism: the avant-garde of the 1920s, the New York School of the 1940s
and 1950s, and the modernist redefinition undertaken in the 1960s. Their
artistic contributions were invaluable, Wagner demonstrates, as well as
hard-won. She also shows that the fact that these artists were women--the
main element linking the three--is as much the index of difference among
their art and experience as it is a passkey to what they share. Published
