About The Rose by Elizabeth Ferrell
A remarkable portrait of a web of artistic connections, traced outward from Jay DeFeos uniquely generative work of art
Winner of the SECAC Award for Excellence in Scholarly Research and Publication
“An insightful reading of Jay DeFeo’s The Rose and the dynamics of creative community building in postwar America”—Ken D. Allan, Seattle University
“Rich in archival detail and incisive visual analysis, About The Rose makes a highly successful intervention into the field of postwar art by advancing a new approach to the function of community in the Fillmore art scene during the 1950s and 60s.”—Joanna Pawlik, author of Remade in America: Surrealist Art, Activism and Politics, 1940–1978
“Ferrell gives us a wholly new understanding of The Rose not just as an important presence in the lives of her protagonists, but as a site for working out the dichotomies between self and other, autonomy and collaboration, and art and the everyday in postwar America.”—Kirsten Swenson, author of Irrational Judgments: Eva Hesse, Sol LeWitt, and 1960s New York
