Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York, by Alexander Nemerov. Penguin Press. 288 pages. $28.
Imagine, if you will, that it’s the year 1990, and you are flipping through the magazine
Art & Antiques. (Why you are doing this, I don’t know maybe you’re an art collector? Just imagine it.) You come across a photograph of a middle-aged white woman in a lemon-yellow sweater and low wedges. She’s perched inside some kind of gigantic wheeled frame, dark eyes cast to the side, laughing at a private joke. Cans of paint, buckets, and brushes, the tools of her trade, are organized on shelves beside her. She seems successful and, what’s more, adjusted to success happy, even carefree. On the floor is a work in progress, soupy reddish paint dotted with black specks. It vaguely resembles an exploded watermelon. “Every canvas is a journey all its own,” the text declares.
Demo Artist
Stephanie Marzella
Stephanie Marzella, who was originally scheduled to be the demo artist for the March 2020 meeting, has agreed to be the demo artist for the Jan. 19 meeting of the Seabrook Island Artist Guild, which will be held outdoors behind the Lake House.
Please bring a chair and dress for the weather. Non-members are welcome to attend and join the Guild. The annual membership dues are $30.
Marzella has been a painter of landscape and still life since receiving her bachelor of fine arts degree from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1984. She was born and raised in Ohio. Soon after receiving her BFA, she moved to Rhode Island and began to focus on landscape and quiet water. In 2016, Marzella relocated to the thriving arts community of Charleston and now lives on Johns Island. The driving forces behind her work are her love of nature and interpretive use of color. Her inspiration comes from living on a tidal cove off Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island
