MARIE COSINDAS
Now re-emerging as a cult figure, Marie Cosindas gained recognition during the 1960s. The artist proved to be instrumental in the recognition of color photography as an acceptable artistic medium in an era where color was relegated to commercial and amateur ventures. Both an historical exception and a product of her times, Cosindas’ warm, intimate portraits as well as her reminiscent arrangements separated her from the prevailing trends of Pop Art’s irony and Minimalism’ rigor that pervaded in the art world. The artist fills her tiny polaroid compositions with found or borrowed objects — flowers, figurines, perfume bottles — that came to define her signature style of excess delightfully bordering on kitsch.
