Thank you for this great review. It makes me happy to read about this art and this painter. This part is especially good to read “the subject has to be interesting for no good reason. If there’s a reason, she questions whether it’s a good subject.” And this part, “This little painting is a terse summary of artistic defiance in the face of disaster. We are going to go on creating, it says. We can put the towers back as easily as daubing four gray lines.”

Thank you, Franklin, for such a beautiful review! It’s been a very long time since I’ve read a review of Lois’s work, written by someone who is not already very familiar with and also devoted to her and her work – what an extraordinary treat! You’ve put into words what I just have never quite been able to explain to myself or to someone else. I’ll share this with our gallery friends and collectors – they will love it too. All the best, Cynthia Hyde, Caldbeck Gallery
