Item Number: 128554 Title: A Punch of Color : Fifty Years of Painting by Camille PATHA Author: Hushka, Rock ; Alison Maurer Price: Not Available ISBN: 9780924335402 Description: Seattle: University of Washington Press, Tacoma Art Museum, 2014. 26cm., hardcover, 96pp., 49 color illus. Summary: Throughout her six-decade career, Camille Patha’s painting has oscillated between the figurative and the abstract. Patha began painting gestural abstraction in the 1960s then deliberately explored various painting styles, including hard-edged abstraction and surrealist-infused photorealism and, finally, a return to abstraction. During each era of her career, Patha demonstrated a full mastery of painting, presenting canvases that wholly embody her imagery and vocabulary with an unwavering voice and shocking vigor. Patha asserts her power as a painter by creating imagery of a complete universe that enables the viewer to be fully absorbed within a boundless volume. In her paintings, she shares a sense of wonder about the existential conundrums confronting every person and with the exuberance of her elastic symbolism. A Punch of Color is the first retrospective of her work since 1979. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O.
