New year, new big art thread! The place for my almost-daily posts featuring art I love, usually modern and contemporary since that's my thing! First up:
Paintings by American artist Lynne Drexler, 1960s, who studied under Hans Hofmann and Robert Motherwell and was associated with second-gen Abstract Expressionism, but her work was overshadowed by her (then) more successful husband, artist John Hultberg.
