Edith Baumann enjoys more freedom for her passion to paint since her son graduated college and later, married. Edith Baumann-Collective Pattern exhibition will be January 30-March 6, 2010 at Santa Monica College Pete and Susan Barrett Art Gallery. Edith says she learns more about her work when her collection is hung in a neutral space and she can stand back and view what she may not have seen up close in her art studio. That reminded me how, as parents, we see our children differently when they stand away from us and we get to see them in their own style.
Frances Colpitt writes “A uniquely sensitive hard- edge painter, Edith Baumann infuses the flat and sharply defined ‘colorforms’ of LA’s homegrown style of geometric abstraction with grace and vitality. In her paintings, color is radiant, monochromatic fields breathe, and crisp edges quiver almost imperceptibly, enlivened with the touch of her hand. Baumann is an artist of substance and every aspect of her paintings deserves and rewards careful looking.”
I hope you get a chance to view her work in person or click on her website below. I am looking forward to attending her art opening in Santa Monica, Ca. and seeing her adult son stand in appreciation of his mom.
