About the Item
'I Loved You Once' is an oil painting by the American artist Deirdre Schanen. Schanen's works weave between non-objective abstraction and representative landscape painting. This example falls into the latter of these categories, displaying a color-field landscape with subtly painted sky, land, water and horizon. Despite this, the landscape remains ambiguous trough the artist's painterly approach to the canvas's surface. This is likely due to the artist's working process, as, like Michelangelo did with blocks of stone, she allows the painting to construct itself as she paints without any plans or intentional direction. Due to the formal qualities that Schanen's eye captures on the canvas, her work recalls the paintings of the color-field artists of the New York School like Mark Rothko, Lee Krasner, and Helen Frankenthaler. Schanen studied at the Art Students League of New York and earned her Masters of Art, William Paterson University.
Schanen says of her work: "My paintings reflect my childhood on the shores of Lake Michigan. They explore the tension of the lake’s serene vastness with the complex confusion of the rocks and detritus washed up upon its shores. My art reflects my world filtered through my heart. I do not plan my art but, rather, develop it as I work. Something in me knows where I’m going. Painting for me is a state of being. I paint what I am. I begin with pencil or ink markings and paint drips. I continue to add layer after layer of glaze, paint and markings. The underpainting is as important to me as the final layer of paint. I perform a dance with my canvas through these spontaneous interactions. I never know where it will lead me or when my dance will be finished."

- Garden In Luca, White ChairLocated in Westport, CT"My life as a painter began in the late 1950s when abstraction was “The only game in town”. I followed and progressed through gesture, organic and finally, geometric non-objective painting. The radical move for me was to discover that the real world of landscape lurked behind all that past work. My childhood in the mountains of Pennsylvania pervaded my “way of seeing” and I wanted to investigate and celebrate the infinite variety of tone, color and composition that I found around me. Sky, the structure of trees, mist and water appeared to fill a hunger to look again and again. There was mystery and danger lurking behind the beauty, and my aim was to try to avoid the cliché and explore the infinite structure of the visual landscape. Now I use my camera as a sketchbook and search for images that seem to offer odd structure and “mystery”. I shoot multiple points of view, cull, crop, and mostly discard. The surviving photographs become the catalyst for the paintings and the process is always a mediation between memory and the small image pinned to my easel...Category
