“I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.”
— Pablo Neruda《If You Forget Me》
A New Jersey-born artist who began her career in New York City in the 1940s, Lois Dodd’s observational painting over the decades has become an ode to nature in its short-term flux and long-term rhythms.
One of the founding members of #TanagerGallery (1952-1962), a legendary artist-run space frequented by figures such as #AlexKatz , #WillemDeKooning , #PhilipGuston and #HelenFrankenthaler in the experimental Tenth Street milieu, Dodd has stayed committed to painting figurative scenes despite changing fashions.
Influenced by principles of observed #naturallight , Dodd adopts a subdued palette and a shorthand of synoptic brushstrokes, with which to impart her vision.
She often returns to familiar motifs repeatedly at different times of the year with dramatically varied results, with subjects include lush summer gardens, views through interior windows, and nocturnal #moonlight skies.
Her loves for the observed world and the vagaries of nature preserve the beauty camouflaged in ordinary and occasionally enigmatic details.
