This blog is about the art work of Eva Slater, a Hard Edge artist from Los Angeles who is also my mother. Having grown up with her, I learned a lot about art, and will share some of the things she taught and how she approached her own art in this blog. She was a core member of the Hard Edge movement of the 1950's and 60's, keeping company with artists such as Helen Lundeburg, Lorser Feitelson and Frederick Hammersley. She exhibited with them for many years until she left the scene in the 1960's and was then forgotten by the art world. The purpose of this blog is to reacquaint the art community with a wonderful artist whose work offers a unique approach to the modernistic Hard Edge art movement and who is now starting to be rediscovered. In recent years her work has been seen in some important contemporary exhibitions on the sixties art scene in Los Angeles. This time around, Eva Slater should rightfully be included in the movement that she helped bring about along with her friends Helen Lundeburg and Lorser Feitelson.
