Edited by Oona Doyle. Text by Emily LaBarge, Susan Alberth.
Rigorous interrogation of abstraction underpinned by a feminist outlook
For six decades, American artist Joan Snyder (born 1940) has reimagined the narrative potential of abstraction through her paintings, drawings and prints, consciously working against the male-dominated conventions of Minimalism, Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting prevalent at her career’s start. This publication celebrates the work of this pioneering artist, featuring stunning reproductions of 46 of her paintings, spanning from the early 1960s to the present day. In addition to full images of the works, high-quality detail shots allow readers to immerse themselves in the rich materiality of her work. The catalog includes archival imagery and sketches from Snyder’s personal notebooks, offering an intimate glimpse into her artistic process. Texts by writer Emily LaBarge and art historian Susan L. Aberth provide insight, deepening our understanding of the motifs and techniques of Snyder’s practice.
