The painter MAX COLE has refined her visual language into a series of vertical and horizontal lines, and a restrained palette of gray, black, and white.
Her works often comprise up to 80 layers of paint and areas of unpainted linen, subtly interchanging the texture of paint with the texture of fabric. Further looking reveals tiny, imperfect, hatch marks that oscillate when seen from afar.
As Cole says, “The result is quiet, inward and meditative, transcending the physical.” This book presents work from Cole’s career over the past half-century, a complete chronology of her life, and excerpts from sixteen compelling texts.
