Here, she focuses on two motifs she has employed for several decades: the ocean's surface and the night sky. The imagery, however, is not her foremost concern: "The recognizable image is just one element to consider. The paintings seem more a record of my grappling with how to transform that image into a painting and make it alive." This process can be seen in A Painting in Six Parts (1986-87/2012-16), a group of six oil paintings based on a photograph she took 50 years ago from a pier in Venice, California. 600 10 $a Celmins, Vija, $d 1938- $v Catalogs. 610 20 $a Matthew Marks Gallery $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Sea in art $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Skies in art $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Nature in art $v Catalogs. 700 1 $a Nickas, Robert, $e author. 710 2 $a Matthew Marks Gallery, $e publisher. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213023454.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE4497C6840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
