About the Item

“After I achieved what I had set out to do in the geometric series in the 1970s and 80s, I turned to looser, figurative work in the 1990s . I wanted to portray energy, action and color and realized I had missed the emotional, human element.” Watching her five children involved in dance and sports had a profound impact on the body of paintings that ensued. As Eisner watched countless ballet, swimming and wrestling events, she set out to capture this fluidity and action in paint. Acrylic on canvas. Featured in SOFA Chicago 2019.
