| Description: | Terri Priest, known as an abstract painter for decades, began appropriating Vermeer images since 1998. In her Vermeer Women series, she combines Vermeer's women with quoted images from recognized paintings of such 20th-century artists as Georgia O'Keefe and Roy Lichtenstein. Regarding this series, Priest says: Art History has always provided the impetus for my work. As an 18-year-old art student, I fell in love with the works of the Italian Renaissance and French Impressionist painters, but when I saw Vermeer's Lady with a Maidservant at the Frick Museum in New York; I realized how much I had yet to learn. Vermeer's responses to natural light, his unerring eye in the design and execution of the painting had much to teach me. Much later, and many more visits to the Frick Museum and the Metropolitan Museum in New York, set the course. It was the isolation and anonymity of Vermeer's characters that encouraged me to create my own narratives. |
