Technicolor Sublime at Weisman Museum of Art: A Conversation with Artist Ruth Pastine
The Weisman Museum of Art has opened 'Ruth Pastine: Technicolor Sublime,' an exhibition featuring the artist's large-scale oil paintings that initially appear as minimalist gray fields but reveal hidden layers of vibrant complementary colors as natural light shifts. In a conversation with Mark Roosa, dean of libraries and interim director of the museum, Pastine discusses her influences, including Michel Eugène Chevreul's color theory, and her connection to the Southern California Light and Space movement, though she distinguishes her work by using traditional oil painting techniques rather than industrial materials.
