in 1904, refers to her 1879 collaboration with the

official exhibitions and not a grouping of artists
with the same tendencies . . . . “

Essay #3:
Both the 1950 painting shown in the slide and the quotation below are by the same artist.
“My painting does not come from the easel. . . I prefer to tack the unstretched canvas to the hard wall of
the floor . . . . On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can
walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting. . . . When I am in my painting, I’m
not aware of what I’m doing . . . . I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc.,
because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.”
Identify the artist. How does the painting reflect the artist’s description of his process? In your answer,
make specific references to both the quotation and the painting. (10 minutes)
