Carefully packed and quickly sent. 201606826 When the art critic for the New Yorker visited Perle Fine's 1949 solo exhibition at The Betty Parsons Gallery, he was so overcome by its quality he felt compelled to write her a personal note: "I must say I thought the pictures looked, well, stunning, they were so strong, assured and powerful." Twenty ;five years later another critic wrote, "These are gentle paintings of near unspeakable beauty." In between those two comments hangs suspended the career of a highly original painter who reached artistic maturity during the period of Abstract Expressionism, a style that the artist Robert Motherwell said had "to do with a certain violence native to the American character."
