FINDLAY GALLERIES PRESENTS THE EXHIBITION Barbara Grad FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions Artist's Reception and Talk

"…Grad carefully develops a splintered pictorial space, where multiple domains are in collision.  In this regard, her work shares an unlikely affinity with the abstract landscapes of Richard Diebenkorn, particularly his Ocean Park series…What links Grad to Diebenkorn is her ability to establish a continuous tension between the painting's distinctly defined sections and the overall image." – John Yau
