Connie Connally: Publications

This book was published on the occasion of a museum exhibit of the artists’ abstract paintings that were inspired by the coastal landscapes of her new home in Santa Barbara. The book brings together seventeen of Connally’s most significant paintings since her move from Texas. Life on the coast is evident in these paintings. Along with Connally’s sensorial images, reproduced in full color, the volume includes an important critical essay by Susan Bush, Curator for Sullivan Goss-An American Gallery, Santa Barbara, CA. Bush describes Connally’s paintings: “The compositions trigger evocative feeling through color and gesture using nature as a point of departure.”
