THE APPROACH TO THE BLANC
After
such
a
riot
of
colour,
the
artist
feels
the
need
to
'calm
the
waves'
(Lao
Tzu)
to
find
the
jewel
of
knowledge
or
to
recover
the
stillness
that
makes
possible
its
discovery.
The
eleven
paintings
of
The
Approach
to
the
Blanc
serve
that
purpose.
The
purity
of
form
and
the
light
touch recall the earlier stages of her work.
