About the Item
This Water series comes out of Schmidt's life long fascination with water and the color blue.
Having grown up in Greece as the daughter of an archeologist, Schmidt spent 3 months out of the year on the Greek island called Samos. Schmidt recalls how all of the primal elements and shapes seemed to come together on the island.
The long lines of the horizon, the white and blue geometries of the buildings and the sound of the water formed her way of perceiving primary space.
Water can be seen as the absence and the presence of space; there is something mesmerizing and elemental about water.
Bastienne Schmidt is a mixed media artist working with photography, painting and large scale drawings. She was born in Germany, raised in Greece and Italy and has lived in New York for the past 20 years.
Her art work is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the International Center of Photography, the Brooklyn Museum, the Corcoran Gallery in Washington D.C. the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris among others. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally in over 90 exhibitions among them the International Center of Photography in New York, the Brooklyn Museum, The New Museum, The Museum fuer Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg and the Southeast Museum in Photography in Daytona Beach, Florida. She has published 6 monographs, among them Vivir la Muerte, American Dreams, Shadowhome, Home Stills, Topography of Quiet. and Typology of Women.
Bastienne Schmidt explores through photography and mixed media concepts of identity and place. Photography and art fall for Schmidt into the realm of archeology, exploring layers of history and meaning, and reassigning value to them.
Schmidt was born in Munich, Germany and moved at the age of 9 with her family to Greece. She spent her childhood surrounded by her father’s archeological work, which instilled in her a desire to organize, map, and attempt to understand systems through her artwork.
