Join us, Nordic Art Partners, as we discuss the compelling work and career of American painter Joan Snyder. Discover key biographical details of her formative years, the limited role of art in her upbringing and how her determined approach to evolving her own formal visual language shaped her artistic development. We discuss a wide array of her formative influences, ranging from Van Gogh, through German Expressionism to Jackson Pollock; antecedents that she recognises as helping her to develop her singular and celebrated aesthetic. Against the vibrant backdrop of the 1970s women's art movement, where scrutiny of traditional gender roles and the early evolution of sexual politics facilitated burgeoning careers of Snyder and her many , accomplished peers. Through a daring blend of materiality and motif, learn how Snyder's work challenged the accepted conventions of abstract painting, championed a female sensibility and facilitated a meteoric rise in the reception and critical appreciation of her breakthrough.As always, we seek to place her work and achievements in a context relevant to the market and her place, both perceived and actual, within it. Despite her groundbreaking contributions, her work remains undervalued when set against similarly lauded contemporaries. With new opportunities under her current representation, we consider the next steps for this vibrant and productive 84 year old titan of American painting, expecting increasing prominence within the art historical canon.Get in Touch
