Florence Grace Putterman (1927-2021) Entwined Metaphors IV

Acrylic on canvas, signed at the lower right. 

Dimensions: 42in x 64in. 

About the artist: 

With a career that spanned more than 50 years, Florence Putterman was a leading woman artist with groundbreaking explorations of abstract art. She used inspirational imagery and creates a language of fantasy, emotion and wonder. 

After receiving an NEA grant to explore and study the prehistoric symbolism of ancient civilizations, Florence began to develop her own symbolism. Her fanciful creatures of frolicking elephants, playful dogs and cats, colorful serpents and tropical birds combine with abstract marks, lines and curves and levitating figures, dancing magically across her canvases and paper.

Her collages are composed of found objects, handmade papers and Putterman’s great interest in giving discarded items a new life and meaning. Her colors are earthy, pungent and bold; and her use of sand and crushed shells on canvas creates an intriguing crackled texture surface to receive her paint.

She was not limited to any one particular media, but rather produced paintings in acrylic and oil; works on paper, including etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, silkscreens, woodcuts and monotypes; sculpture; and photography.

Florence received a Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) from Pennsylvania State University, followed by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Florence has exhibited extensively throughout the U.S. with literally hundreds of solo and group exhibitions.
