Collection privée
Beauty of Eve (1989) de Jules Olitski illustre parfaitement les peintures « mitt » caractéristiques de l'artiste, où l'abstraction des champs de couleur, le geste et la texture convergent vers une surface richement tactile. Des couches épaisses d'acrylique sont appliquées avec des mouvements expressifs à l'aide d'outils non conventionnels tels que des gants, des balais et des raclettes afin d'explorer la profondeur physique et la présence matérielle de la peinture. Beauty of Eve capture l'apogée de cette expérimentation.
