For most of the second half of the 20th century, the highly respected gestural colorist Nell Blaine blended the delicacy of intimate interiors with the viscosity of Abstract Expressionism. She developed a unique style of powerful AbEx brushwork combined with a rhythmic stippling reminiscent of Bonnard and Matisse. Her fluent aqueous brushstrokes retained the salient aspects of nature, whether rendered in ink, watercolor, or oil. A table setting or a floral arrangement became a symphony of fluid calligraphic lines, each stroke serving the integrity of the scene depicted.
