1929-2001: A RETROSPECTIVE
ENTRANCE GALLERY
Eva Mathiasen pursued formal artistic training in her beloved Denmark,
where artists are revered and natural beauty abounds. She enjoyed
the challenge of many media, including watercolor, oil and pastel.
She favored pastel, however, because, as she put it, "the process
is less labored. Despite the vast difference between pastel and
oil, animated daubs of color and texture give similar impressionistic
effects." It is no wonder that her florals and garden scenes
reverberate with her admiration of the Impressionists. Eva Mathiasen
won many prestigious awards and her work is in museum, gallery and
corporate collections throughout the United States. A most accomplished
pastel artist, Eva Mathiasen was a much loved and admired artist
member of the Arts Center. This show is a tribute to her legacy. |
