Biography from Butler Institute of American Art:
| From an exhibition catalog published by Barzansky Galleries: Recent Paintings by Erne Joseph:
Although Erne Joseph has been working in sculpture and painting for over a quarter of a century, these canvases represent her first one-man show; they present examples of four intense and continuous years in the abstract idiom.
She was a student of Wlerick in Paris, has had several teachers in painting among them Tschacbasov, has a thorough training in every phase of plastic and graphic arts, plus a prodigious ability of self-study and research.
Her work is conceived in architectural terms and the formalistic approach in this cycle, is based upon an intelligent understanding of formal organization, the outcome of strict discipline imposed by herself in the strongest tradition of modern painting.
She has exhibited widely in both national and local exhibitions and received the Marcia Grady Tucker Award at the National Association of Women Artists in May 1955, also the Henry Avery Award, a citation and Honorable Mention, in October 1955 at the Architectural League.
A resident of New York City, she was born in Washington, D.C., attended Goucher College in Baltimore, MA and was a research student at Columbia University. |
