Status
On viewLabel TextThe bright, patterned paintings that Susan Chrysler White creates recall the Op Art movement of the 1960s. Abstract imagery and patterns morph into forms that are "botanical, insect-like or mutations of some hybrid futuristic organism". Susan does not use brushes to make her paintings but instead pours and presses paint onto the canvas and paper. Susan is the Area Head for Drawing and Painting at the University of Iowa School of Art and Art History.
