SALLY MICHEL (1902-2003)

Sally Michel was an artist and illustrator well known for her body of work consisting of abstract landscapes, floral still lifes, and intimate scenes representing time spent with family and friends. In her modernist compositions, she used broad fields of color and simplified, interlocking shapes and forms. Her use of saturated, fauvist color helps us understand Michel’s feelings for her subjects.  Intentionally uncomplicated, her paintings exude a certain charm, naiveté and light-hearted optimism.
