About This Book
The American Southwest landscape has been an inspiration and point of departure for Abbey's art and evolving visual perceptions. Her experiences in desert regions and near and on rivers are realized in her work. She has captured the energy of the space, forms, and mystifying characteristics of the desert in her abstract compositions.
The color, line, and texture that recreate the surroundings and the motion of the river in the Rio Grande Series speak of personal creative sources and Abbey's reverence for nature's complexity. A foreword by William L. Fox, an essay on the Rio Grande River by Marc Simmons, and a critique by Katherine Plake Hough of the thirty-two monotypes of the Rio Grande Series present an enlightening and unique overview of historical, environmental, and artistic features.
