Description:
Artist: Helen Covensky
Title: Earthly Delights
Medium: Lithograph
Paper Size: 22" x 29"
For
hundreds of thousands of years flowers have represented beauty
and abundance. Ever since the first flower illustrations appeared
on primitive cave walls, people have been fascinated by their
forms and colors. Subsequently they have been used not only
for physical adornment, but for healing purposes, spiritual
symbolism and ritual gesture, gracing modest homes and grand
palaces throughout histroy. Flowers have inspired some of history's
greatest art masters-Van Gogh, Monet, Manet-and won the affection
and sentimentality of the ages.
Helen Covensky's lovely renditions are entrancing
and light. She actually captures the essence of the flower-the
intense color, the gesture of form and grace, in a manner reminiscent
of the Oriental masters and in a very accessible fashion. Executed
in a blithe spirit, her images convey the innocence we would
expect from such a subject, expressionistic and spontaneous,
yet still keeping their form.
Ms. Covensky was born in Poland where she began
painting at an early age. It was in 1951 that she emigrated
to the United States and soon after began her formal training
in painting and the humanities at Wayne State University. During
this time, Mrs. Covensky developed the lyrical quality she expresses
in her work. Further study in Paris and Israel helped Helen
to emerge as a sensitive artist whose use of vivid color expresses
her passion for life and her strong love of nature.
