Bessie Boris “Intersection” Oil and Mixed Media on Paper

Bessie Boris (Johnstown, PA b. 1917, d. 1993) oil, watercolor, and pastel on paper entitled “Intersection” (1969). Boris placed great emphasis on color and psychologically charged distortions of form. This piece embodies both concepts and evokes in both representation and title an existentialist crisis. Highly intellectual piece, beautifully executed.
