Eva Slater painted by Harry Carmean

Eva Slater knew Harry Carmean for many years, starting in the 1950's at Art Center and in the 1980's she ended up being Harry Carmean's mother in law. Carmean first started collecting her work in the 1950's and owned the much admired Sun over the Ocean painting mentioned in the previous blog. The bottom painting by Carmean is of Eva holding her grand daughter Erin who is about a year old. The top painting is a portrait of Eva with her daughter Miriam Slater, who is also an artist.

Eva's paintings in the Three Viewpoints exhibit in Santa Barbara

Eva Slater was in this "Three Viewpoints" exhibit with Harry Carmean and daughter Miriam Slater in Santa Barbara. All three artists work in completely different styles, Eva works in the Hard-edge manner, Miriam in a Japanese style and Harry works in a classic European style, however the underlying aesthetic principles used by these artists is the same and so there are just as many similarities as there are differences.
