About the Item
Joan Snyder's early 1970s period is known as the best of her career, now an iconic period of time for feminist abstract painting of the era. This fully finished work on paper reads like a small painting, as she utilized both acrylic paint, which drips down the surface, as well as gouache and graphite to anchor the piece. It comes out of her "stroke" series, her breakthrough series which resembles musical notation. Snyder once said, "I wanted to tell a story and I wanted there to be different sections. I wanted a beginning, middle, and end, many different parts, happy, sad, tragic parts, many things happening at once, different instruments, different sounds, rhythms." Paintings from this series can be found in the most prominent museums in the world, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Tate.
