Martha ReedMartha Reed, (Color Abstraction) (Head?)1950
1950
About the Item
Martha Reed was the daughter of the artist Doel Reed and as an adult she joined her parents in Taos, New Mexico.
There she designed clothes with a south-western aesthetic and had a shop for three decades.
She showed at the Ward Eggleston Gallery, NYC, in the 1950s.
This (Color Abstraction) may in fact be a modernist 'head.' If so it is probably male, not female, but one can't be sure. It's a wonderful 'moderne' image -- a linocut on tan paper, signed in pencil.
