Oil and wax on wood. Lillia Frantin's paintings are uniquely her own and yet keep within a Modernist tradition that places emotional response at the center of art. Art and life are the subject ; painting is how we experience them. After Modernism, while art can still be about beauty, it will be a beauty that is complex, honest, deeply personal and engaging. Art is now connected in a direct way to life, to the viewer, to us. Frantin received her Masters degree from Pratt Institute, NY in 1968. She was a professor of Painting and Modern Art History for over twenty years, painting and exhibiting professionally in New York, California, New Mexico and Cape Cod. After leaving her professorship to paint full-time in 1991, she traveled and conducted popular workshops while continuing to paint and exhibit throughout the US and Europe. Dimensions: 8"x8.5".
