1954 -1955

I found no artwork online dated to the year 1954. 

I did found a photo taken by her former husband.




So I will skip a year and post one of my favourite paintings.

In 1955 our artist travels to Paris where she meets painter Jean Paul Riopelle, with whom she will live for over twenty years.
She participates in Vanguard 1955, an important group exhibition at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
Other exhibitions this year include the Pittsburgh International at the Carnegie Institute and the Annual Exhibition of Contemporary American Painting at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. She has her second solo exhibition at the Stable Gallery.
She also meets Samuel Beckett, who will remain a close friend.
