By 1958, she had moved completely away from non-objective painting into figuration, a decision that would alter the course of her career. In addition to her five decades of visual work, Beck left behind volumes of letters, journals, and essays on art--ranging from formal analysis of the canon, her own work, and the works of her peers to \u003ci\u003eLetters to a Young Painter\u003c\/i\u003e, an epistolary lecture project. In the writings gathered here, Beck approaches her subjects in the same manner as she would have approached a complex narrative painting: through a richly textured combination of literary allusion, metaphor, direct observation, and autobiography. \u003ci\u003eRosemarie Beck: Letters to a Young Painter and Other Writings\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a selection of Beck's writings for the first time, situating her distinctive voice within the milieu of mid-century artist-writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosemary Beck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soberscove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.00h x 7.30w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940190198","brand":"Soberscove Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710537797769,"sku":"9781940190198","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_2c6cf516-1b4b-491c-a546-087bd83e04ca.jpg?v=1719538244","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/rosemarie-beck-letters-to-a-young-painter-and-other-writings-9781940190198","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
