Nancy Mitchnick

"Nancy Mitchnick's still life, landscapes, and portraits are deceptively styleless and ageless works. Without being primitive in technique, her images of a hat on a table, a couple standing before a window, or a vase of flowers are primitively direct in feeling. She generally paints only what she sees before her, and she works with the broadest, least stylized spectrum of colors; and while her scale is always big, even hulking, she rarely makes things appear bigger (or smaller) than they do in reality." -- Excerpt from essay by Sanford Schwartz.
