Denise Green's Studio Visit Reveals Influences from Aboriginal Art to French Theory
In a recent studio visit by artcritical, Denise Green reflects on her artistic path, which aligns with the release of her book 'Denise Green: An Artist's Odyssey' from the University of Minnesota Press. Originally from Australia, Green has lived in New York for over four decades. She fondly remembers her early inspirations from Groote Eylandt bark paintings and her classes in Brisbane back in 1959. After attending the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, she relocated to New York in 1969. Green achieved acclaim with the 1978 'New Image Painting' exhibition at the Whitney Museum. Her ongoing museum exhibition in Germany draws from 19th-century Chinese artists. A book launch and lecture are set for June 28 at 6:30pm at Sundaram Tagore Gallery in New York.
