"CORINNE MICHAEL WEST"
an occasional series on women artists I have enjoyed the work of and today's forgotten abstract expressionist is no exception
Corinne Michael West, abstract expressionist painter, actress and writer. 1930 by Jon Boris.
born Corinne Michelle West 1908 - died 1991
Rediscovering Corinne Michael West - Artsy
'Tree' 1955
'Flowers' 1964-65
'Cythera Shrine' (1979)
Untitled c.1948
'Green' 1958
'The Wiz' 1976
Vogue: Corinne Michael West in her studio c.1947
If it hadn't been for the love letters from Arshile Gorky it is likely West would have remained forgotten so once again defined by the careers of men we discover a truly great painter . . . . . . .
