Anne Brody

For as long as I can remember, I have been involved with the study, the observation and the creation of art. Studying color and drawing with Josef Albers gave me my first opportunity to discover my special sensitivity to color, and also to create my first original art work. As a young person, I lived in Japan where I studied various aspects of Japanese art: calligraphy, ink painting, and ceramics – all an enduring influence. When I returned, I studied fine art at Cooper Union, and discovered the medium of paint and its myriad possiblities.

As a painter, my main concern has been with the physical properties of paint and canvas. I use color and texture to build structure on the surface of the canvas. Reflections of nature has always been seen in my work. Nature is the principle.  I am the catalyst. And the paintings are the end result of the mesmerizing action of applying paint to canvas.
