She has painted for six decades.
Carmen Herrera is an abstract painter but didn't sell her work til five years ago, at 89. She is Cuban-born. Since that sale, collectors have avidly sought her work and it is in permanent collections of places like MOMA and the Tate Modern. She persevered because painting was pleasurable. She did it for the sake of art. She is a minimalist and a colorist. Reading the whole article makes me want to be her, emulate her. (slugbug)
