Susan Swartz: Personal Path at the Ludwig Museum in St. Petersburg
"Painting as a contemplative process and the spirituality of nature - these are the key themes examined by the American artist Susan Swartz. In abstract gestural style, she applies layer upon layer of paint with brush and palette knife until the paintings seem to luminesce from within. And remarkably, whether she uses bright or dark colours, the outcome is the same: Susan Swartz's paintings are infused with light." - Walter Smerling, Chairman of the Foundation for Art and Culture, Bonn
This catalogue is published on the occasion of the exhibition SUSAN SWARTZ. PERSONAL PATH at the Ludwig Museum in Russia.
