MAX COLE
Max Cole was born in Kansas in 1937, lives and works in New York and feels very strongly the Indian American ancestry of her origins. Since the mid-seventies she has dedicated herself to painting using traditional techniques. In her paintings, usually large canvases, she superimposes on a structure consisting of horizontal lines, thousands of fine perpendicular lines, very close together, which fill the space. The horizontal lines form the backbone of the composition and hold up the others, like branches and leaves. The result of a deep passion, it is an art far from the postmodern currents and their aggressive and explicit language.
