PAULA BRUNNER ABELOW

1

Sea Resort , 1953

I loved the patterns on the beach and the sunshine on the houses; watercolor was my answer.

On the Beach , 1948

Capturing a realistic beach scene was fun!

Turmoil Under the Sea , 1965

I went through a period of “Minimal Art” expressing my inside feelings. It could have been a bellyache!

Dancing #2 , 1965

This shows my lifelong love of dancing in the “minimal” style.

5

Time Goes By , 1965

A couple is so engrossed with each other that time stands still; minimal style.

New York City Backyard , 1948

This is a realistic pencil study of the backyard from our 69th street furnished apartment after we got married.

New York City Backyard , 1948

Final “Backyard” in color – I’m pleased with the architectural semi-abstraction.

New York City Backyard , 1948

This is a semi-abstract tempera painting in light and dark values.

Abstraction , circa 1960s

I am fascinated by quasi-rectangular shapes and limited color scheme: reds and blues.

Ira Fishing , 1953

We spent many summers at the seashore; aside from the usual pleasures of the beach we pursued our avocations: Ira fishing and I painting.

Artist , 1953

She struck me in her simplicity – the result a semi-abstraction with tempera paint.
