More about Untitled

The work of the acclaimed artist and poet Etel Adnan (Lebanon, 1925) links abstraction and
figuration within the landscape. In a painting of the Tamalpais Mountain in San Francisco, that Adnan
painted numerous times, as Cézanne painted Mount Saint Victoire (1), the use of vibrant colors are
reminiscent of naive art landscapes, and, like Adnan, celebrate life and nature as a whole.
