Abstract

Among the most highly regarded of contemporary painters, Pat Steir has in recent years reached a new level of achievement. In the present volume, which reproduces in color seventy-seven of her most important paints. Thomas McEvilley surveys the whole of her career as an artist giving special emphasis to her remarkable recent work. Steir has long been admired for pictures that quote the history of painting. Outstanding among these Quotational pictures is the virtuoso Brueghel Series of 1982-84, a group of sixty-four panels each executed in the style of a different artist or period. That group reproduced here, formed the climax of an earlier book on Steir published in 1986. Since then, her work has moved into a more fluid abstraction with The Moon and the Wave of 1986-87. Again she has drawn freely on the history of art - both Western (Courbet's The Wave) and Eastern (Hokusai's The Great Wave) - now with a new sovereignty, mastering the difficult format of the tondo. Further explorations of the medium led her to the extraordinary Waterfall paintings of the late eighties and the nineties. Steir made the first series of these new works with strokes of the brush, but subsequently threw the paint at the canvas in several ways, letting it drip and run down the vertical surface - creating the effect that the painting not only is of a waterfall but, in its cascading liquid paint, is a waterfall.
