Large Contemporary Female American Modernist Abstract Oil Painting on Canvas

1990

About the Item

Wonderful large abstract painting by Betty Weiss. Oil on canvas. Signed with her married name "Betty Perez". Measuring 60 by 72 inches. Artist Bio: Betty Weiss has been a New York School painter since the early 1970s. Prior to joining the Hunter College Fine Arts Department in the late 1970s, she was a student at the Art Institute of Chicago, and also painted for two years in Mexico City where she met her husband, Hector Perez. It was through Perez, a political activist, that she encountered the great Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and Alfaro Siqueiros. Although she admired the grandiose scale and content of their works, she was most inspired by the vibrant colors and simple forms of the small-town haciendas that surrounded her—an influence that still informs her work today. In 1970, she moved to New York, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Hunter College of the City University of New York under the direction of Robert Swain. Her graduate studies were conducted under Ray Parker, also at Hunter College. She lives and works in Long Island City, New York. Weiss’s solo exhibitions include a 1987 showing at Galerie Leif Stahle in Paris, France. Since 1980, she has been included in numerous group exhibitions, mostly in New York and New Jersey. In 1990, Weiss was the recipient of a grant from the New York Foundation for the Arts. Her works are included in many prominent collections including those of the University Gallery of the State University of New York at Albany, New York; the Met Life Corporation, New York, New York; and the Islip Art Museum, Islip New York.
