This book offers the first critical reassessment of the artist: a leftist, female painter committed to figuration in an era when anti-Communist sentiment and masculine Abstract Expressionism dominated American culture. Her brightly colored, humorous, and distinctly feminine paintings combine elements of social realism and surrealism to seductive and disquieting effect. This publication is a timely reevaluation of an artist who pushed the boundaries of figurative painting with playfulness and biting wit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Columbus Museum of Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eColumbus Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/10\/17-05\/21\/17)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (06\/30\/17-09\/03\/17)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmith College Museum of Art, Northamton, MA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (09\/21\/17-01\/07\/18)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
