By 1958, she had moved completely away from non-objective painting into figuration, a decision that would alter the course of her career. In addition to her five decades of visual work, Beck left behind volumes of letters, journals, and essays on art--ranging from formal analysis of the canon, her own work, and the works of her peers to \u003ci\u003eLetters to a Young Painter\u003c\/i\u003e, an epistolary lecture project. In the writings gathered here, Beck approaches her subjects in the same manner as she would have approached a complex narrative painting: through a richly textured combination of literary allusion, metaphor, direct observation, and autobiography. \u003ci\u003eRosemarie Beck: Letters to a Young Painter and Other Writings\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a selection of Beck's writings for the first time, situating her distinctive voice within the milieu of mid-century artist-writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 5 x 7.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 15, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769857573152,"sku":"9781940190198","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4ccfeef6cbd0e67f26565655c69c219f.webp?v=1780358420","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/rosemarie-beck-letters-to-a-young-painter-and-other-writings-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
