Beatriz Milhazes – skirting the line between abstraction and decoration

of course, because the snow is melting a bit, i’m thinking of spring. and i’m also thinking, as you know about my webinar where i will be discussing artists who skirt the line between non-objective abstraction, and abstraction with recognizable “things”. so, paging through compendium of fairly recent artworks, i came across a piece by Beatriz Milhazes – a Brazilian artist. her work also skirts the line between what we may think of as “decoration”. of course, that is another interesting “boundary” to explore. but in the meantime, i’m posting a beautiful piece of hers from the Guggenheim Museum. “The Four Seasons” 1997
