Enid Munroe: Cloth Series
Paintings in the Cloth Series by
Enid Munroe
Artist Enid Munroe, who is also the author of An Artist in the
Garden, presents her Cloth Series. The subject matter is
cloth in various arrangements of colors, forms, shapes and patterns.
"I love the contrast of trompe l'oeil technique and the abstract quality
of the subject matter,"said Munroe." Renaissance paintings are all
about beauty, motion and color of clothes,and architectural details were
often the substance of the paintings. Artists' fascination with fabrics
continued into the twentieth century and ended with John Singer Sargent's
beautiful portraits - think of the Wyndham Sisters painted in
1899 which is all about white, gossamer satins and tulles and the
architectural details of a fashionable London drawing
room."
"In my Cloth Series, the subject matter is the cloth itself -
the material is isolated from pictorial events. Usually there is a cord or
rope in the compositions."
