Product Description Spanning a 70-year career, the first appreciation of this pioneering female modernist artist (b. 1927) working in the post-war American art scene. Long-awaited European debut of American painter Lois Dodd Framing the Ephemeral is the first monograph on Lois Dodd (b. 1927). At the age of 98, Dodd is still considered a pioneering yet often overlooked figure in postwar American art. This book offers a compelling exploration of her observation-based paintings, with a particular focus on light, atmosphere, and everyday scenes. For seventy years, Dodd has been quietly yet consistently defying entrenched gender norms, while remaining steadfast in her clear, attentive way of seeing hallmarks of observational painting. Framing the Ephemeral highlights her significant contributions and reaffirms Dodds enduring place in art history.
