Description
Gwendolyn Knight
1913-2005
untitled, Horse
1997
lithograph on BFK Rives paper
20 x 16 inches (image)
26 x 20 inches (sheet)
signed and dated
Provenance: private collection, Bentonville, AR
Gwendolyn Knight was a lover of the animal and human form. She chose dancers, or sitters whose figures shape the space and create emotional and structural tension. They are folded and arched or they leap and unravel across the surface of her paintings like untied pieces of string. There is the carefully studied face, where youth hangs fragile on an eyelid or the gestured mark that captures a whole history. There are horses that run through dream space in black and white. Even in her simplest still-life paintings she revealed her mastery for manipulating the figure/ground relationship.
