About the Item
"In the world of still life and landscape, conceptual events meet one another – the structural meets the narrative, the small stands in the space of the large, and color has a chance to navigate these meetings, changing everything. All my paintings show this shifting world." - Mary Vernon
Born in Southern New Mexico, educated at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, Mary Vernon has served on the faculty of Southern Methodist University in Dallas since 1967. She teaches painting and drawing, and SMU’s noted color theory course. Vernon has chaired both the Division of Art and the Division of Art History. She was named the Meadows Foundation Distinguished Teaching Professor for 1998-1999, and in 2006, she was named Altschuler Distinguished Teaching Fellow. Additionally, Vernon is a Fellow at the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture. Her work has been exhibited in France, Hungary, Slovenia, Kazakhstan and Chile, as well as nationally. Recent writing about her work can be found in the Kevin Kaiser essay “Still Life with Landscape: The Art and Philosophy of Mary Vernon,” in The Langdon Review of The Arts in Texas, Volume 11, 2014 -2015.
This work was included in a series of twelve square calendar paintings, Vernon’s visual “diary” cataloguing what images and ideas occurred throughout that month. Each of the paintings is marked with the Chinese calendar flower for the month – the flower for “February” is the Peach Blossom.

- Castilleja cruenta standlBy Penelope GottliebLocated in Palm Desert, CAA painting by Penelope Gottlieb. "Castilleja cruenta standl" is a contemporary painting, ink, acrylic and oil on canvas panel in a variety of bright, bold colors by American artist Penelope Gottlieb. After receiving her BFA from the Art Center College for Design in Pasadena, Penelope Gottlieb went on to earn her MFA from the University of California in Santa Barbara where she currently lives and works. Gottlieb’s artistic repertoire is thoroughly modern and includes innovative paintings as well as compelling media design, for which she received an Emmy in the field of motion picture title design in 1993. Gottlieb’s more recent works showcase a unique synthesis of her modern graphic design background and the vintage botanical renderings of natural scientists. However, her paintings are also unique in their perspective on the traditional floral still life. Stylized flora and fauna are depicted as emanating from a comic book explosion, illustrating what the artist refers to as “the dire state of the planet” as faced with species extinction and the resulting biological and ecological ramifications. These violent representations of the artistically typified placid natural world are intended as “visual eulogies for lost plant life.” The particular specimens that Gottlieb depicts are in fact extinct and she is able to recreate them only from historical drawings and botanist’s descriptions. Although avant-garde and aesthetically unique, Gottlieb’s paintings delineate clear influences from the renowned artists of Pop and Expressionist art. The composition of many of her paintings is reminiscent of Kandinsky’s canvas-filling outpours while her bold color palette and black outlines recall Lichtenstein’s comic book panels. Her work is also closely related to a more contemporary group of artists, including Alexis Rockman...Category
