Carol Anthony: Paintings, Prints + Constructions 1975–2015

This richly illustrated book is a striking collection of the artist’s intimate paintings, drawings and prints. With her distinctive renderings, CAROL ANTHONY directs her audience’s attention towards the small and unassuming aspects of everyday life, be it a weathered tennis ball, a dog bone, or an unopened envelope. 

Though her subject matter may appear mundane at first glance, the artist’s work pulses with an undercurrent of powerful emotion and memory. Anthony’s painted suitcases, postcards and window casings offer access to a deeply personal realm, inviting viewers to inhabit these inner landscapes by her side. Her atmospheric paintings convey a reverence for the earth, a yearning for the past, and a deep appreciation for beauty. While possessing a certain tenderness, Anthony’s vaporous fields and succulent bowls of fruit evoke potent feelings of melancholy, nostalgia and solitude.
