A monograph of Jeanette Pasin Sloan, painter of still lifes. She was born in Chicago in 1946 and is now an accomplished artist. She works in the great tradition of Western art, but takes a distinctly modernist approach to design and colour, employing bold shapes, distorting reflections, and vertiginous arrangements of patterned fabrics. Her works have developed from placid groupings of everyday objects - 20th-century household objects selected for their simplicity and boldness - to the recent "Balancing Act" series presenting objects in magisterial disarray, their effect approaching abstraction. This volume presents the finest of Pasin Sloan's paintings in oil and acrylic, watercolours and prints, accompanied by a text that combines biography with critical analysis.
