The Dorothy Lee Roberts Art Gallery

[j***@portll.net]

A little harsh as a critique for an artist whose drip paintings retail in the region of $2000-5000 (more for larger canvasses such as Manhattan Winter, which sold for $8000), and who while admittedly not of quite the technical brilliance of Jackson Pollock, can at least be mentioned in the same breath as one of the pre-eminent drip painters of our time. She takes time to build scenes without the random factor overwhelming the painting's underlying concepts, so whether in works like Beyond the Web or in better known and less abstract works such as her oil on canvas 'Deep Blue Sea' or 'Red' series, the main thrust of the painting should be something even a non-art lover such as yourself could recognise without the title cards attached.

Lastly, the fact that she is elderly (possibly even deceased by now) should not be relevant to the discussion - either she is an artist of merit or not. Let us agree to diverge on the subject.

I have never called randomize blotches of paint with titles art. They can
look nice as a decor or maybe even considered a craft, but it is not art!
Art implies the application of a skill, not randomness. I hate to be the
one to be negative toward an elderly person, but let's get some perspective
here.

This is my grandmother, her abstract artwork is very imprssive and I dont believe that you would do ANY BETTER! The ctitique is very hard, considering that she is a very elderly lady. She does not focus all of her attention to artwork because she is a proffesional concert pianist!!! IS the most beautiful artist and musician that I have ever heard. I would like to see you do better yourself. Thankyou. Max

I arrived here because I was looking for work by Dorothy Lee Roberts. I think she is an amazing painter. Some years ago she was selling a beautiful picture called White Dervish. I was broke at the time, so used to ogle it on the web. Years later, when I had a bit of money, I searched and found it was sold. I was heartbroken. Really heartbroken. Not buying it somehow, anyhow, is one of the biggest regrets I have.

So I'm with Max. Her work is moving, exhilarating, brilliant. And I wish I could buy some. Her old web site appears to have been hacked. Does she have a new one? Does a gallery have her at the moment? Thanks.

She was a very dear friend of mine for a number of years
I loved her music and art and passion for life
Her problematic goldfish pond on the other hand was a living nightmare !!
