DOROTHY HOOD (1918-2000)

ARTIST BIO INQUIRE
 
Hood often acknowledged that Arshile Gorky, Edvard Munch, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Max Ernst impacted her ability to convey concepts and ideas in non-representational abstraction. But it was her intensive studies of myth, science, nature, spirituality, and prodigious skills that take us to the limits of our perceptions and experiences. Untitled does not share the delicate, ethereal quality of Georgia O'Keefe's botanical-like florals and instead acknowledges the transformative intensity underlying the creation of earthly things. For Hood, the transformation from seed to bud to flower to seed is a cycle of completion and a perpetual state of metamorphosis shaped by the passage of time and the interplay of physical and spiritual realms. It is one of her most potent themes that she returned to often.
