Etel Adnan’s World
It’s not unusual for artists to have their moment after death, but to have their moment at the moment of death? This is the case for Etel Adnan, the inspiring artist-writer who died this winter at the age of 96. As her audience, many of us are just beginning to uncover her richly productive career, which spanned several decades and embodied a wide range of media, including paintings, drawings, films, tapestries, prose, poetry, and accordion-fold art books. She worked quietly and prolifically across continents and languages. READ ON
Le Poids du Monde 11, by Etel Adnan, painted five years before the Lebanese artist’s death, this past November.
