Lois Dodd

Framing the Ephemeral marks the first publication of Lois Dodd (b. 1927), offering a captivating exploration of her observational paintings that capture everyday moments with a focus on light and atmosphere. Known for her swift, thin layers of paint, Dodd masterfully conveys fleeting, never-to-return scenes, revealing a fresh perspective on the ordinary. Her ability to observe with clarity and translate it into vivid works is rare, as is her remarkable seven-decade-long career. At 96, Dodd remains a pioneering yet often overlooked figure in post-war American art, challenging traditional gender norms and standing firm in her commitment to observational painting. This book shines a light on her profound contributions and reaffirms her place in art history.
