In 1968 artist Jennifer Bartlett (b. 1941) began painting in what
would become her celebrated and trademark style--colored dots on
gridded steel plates and canvas. Focusing on the single and
multi-plate pieces that began in 1968 and culminated in 1976 when
Bartlett sprang onto the art scene with her pivotal Rhapsody
painting (The Museum of Modern Art, New York), this important book
analyzes for the first time the significant role these formative
and long-overlooked works played in her artistic development.
Analytical and lyrical, Bartlett's early plate work reflects her
transformation of the prevailing Minimalist aesthetic into
something distinctly her own. With beautiful color illustrations of
this body of work--many of which have never before been published
or exhibited--the book charts Bartlett's fascinating progression
from mathematically precise dot paintings to rigorously structured
patterned pieces to more freehand and expressive painterly pieces.
In the process, the importance of these works to the artist's
career and to the history of contemporary art is discovered.
