Palimpsest, Pentimento, and Perseverance 

“Selected Drawings/Paintings from this Century” by long-time Philadelphia artist, Deborah Curtiss, may be her “swan-song” to Germantown and Philadelphia as she relocates to the Pacific Northwest. 

Featured are diverse works created since 2002: “Palimpsest” paintings inspired by figurative sculpture and architecture of Italy, “Pentimento” paintings stimulated by snowscapes of early 20th century Bucks County artists, and fragmented “persevering” figure drawing/paintings, a subject to which Curtiss was devoted for many years. The works are unified by their “trapezial” shapes: four sides of unequal length.

About the installation "WE RISE"
