File:Joanna Pousette-Dart Untitled -7 1976.tif

Painting by Joanna Pousette-Dart, Untitled #7 (sand and acrylic on canvas, 7' x 14', 1976). The image illustrates a very early period and body of work in Joanna Pousette-Dart's career in the 1970s, when she first produced large-scale paintings employing expressive paint handling, velvety sand-textured surfaces, and soft-edged, interwoven rectangular areas of dark, close-valued colors that critics likened in atmosphere to the work of artists such as Klee, Rothko and Braque. This series of work has been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed widely in national art and daily press publications, and collected by major art institutions.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a very early period and body of work in Joanna Pousette-Dart's career in the 1970s when she first gained recognition: her large-scale paintings consisting of soft-edged, interwoven rectangular areas of dark, close-valued colors, which employed expressive paint handling and velvety surfaces that were textured with sand. Critics suggest that these works explored tensions between the architectonic, rectilinear structure of the panel and grid and the freely expressive, space-evoking possibilities of painting; their atmospheres were likened to the work of Klee, Rothko and Braque. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize a key developmental phase in her art, which brought initial recognition from art journals, daily press publications, and museums. Pousette-Dart's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
