Mary Heilmann's Abstract Painting Between Two Truths
Mary Heilmann's pictorial approach, initiated in the early 1970s, escapes the categories of abstract painting history. She gained major recognition in the United States after her retrospective 'To Be Someone' in 2007-2008 and is a key reference for younger generations. The article in artpress n°436 (September 2016, pp. 59-64) examines her work as existing 'between two truths, like a half-note'.
