Description

By Janet Ruttenberg


It is a testament to her indefatigable commitment to not only a place, but to the people that enjoy it. Revolutionizing the grand, if neglected, landscape painting tradition, she mixes paint, print, sound, video, and photography, forming what is truly a unique and unparalleled body of work. While her pratice has clear antecedents in the post-Impressionist tradition of Georges Seurat and Édouard Manet, she supersedes these influences by developing a beautiful and increasingly complex world of both images and the process of image-making itself. In addition to showing over 75 exquisite works, cataloging her unique process, this monograph contains three illuminating scholarly essays, contextualizing and analyzing Ruttenberg’s œuvre, as well as 15 scannable QR codes that allow the viewer to take in the full audiovisual experience of her works.
