Provenance / HistoryThis work is one of the last wholly abstract expressionist based paintings. Sappho was many things which included being a lyrical poet. She inspired many young musicians and artists to include the melodic, enthusiastic embrace of nature , especially in the spring when all of life is new and tenuous....painters painted outside for inspiration and where all the senses could experience the moment....similarly, poets revealed their deepest inner worlds even in formally constructed verse. The painting is a metaphorical equivalency for youthful hope.
Story / Additional InfoThis work has been included in several exhibits in New York, the Grossman Gallery at Lafayette College, the Seraphin Gallery in Philadelphia and the Havu Gallery in Denver. Critics have noted its lyricism as being connected to the first works shown by this artist in NYC, referred to by Gerrit Henry (Art International Magazine) as "Lyrical Abstraction.
