The Kalamazoo Institute of Arts presents A Precious Artistic Moment: Paintings by Catherine Hinkle, an exhibition on view through September 15, 2013.
Catherine Hinkle, Scintillation, 1949, oil on canvas | Marilyn Hinkle CollectionThe paintings of Catherine Hinkle (1926-1974) are abstract “color experiences.” Hinkle studied art at Chicago’s Institute of Design with Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, who called her his “little color genius.” In her brief career, Hinkle created a body of work that, to this day, explores the spiritual aspects of non-objective art. As the artist wrote, “The key to understanding my work is not to see what is painted, but rather to feel it.”
The majority of the works in the exhibition are from the collection of the late Marilyn Hinkle. The exhibition has been made possible through the generous support of Tish Loveless.
