 Review | A Personal Calligraphy by Mary Pratt
At least, that's how it seems to me. Pratt's paintings are often large, always vivid and usually hyper real: photo real, in fact.
A Personal Calligraphy is a self-portrait of Mary Pratt as artist, wife, mother, daughter, public figure and woman.
And because the sources of the collection are varied -- newspaper clippings, 45-year-old journal entries, essays and so on -- that self-portrait has a mosaic quality: put together piece by disparate piece to create a cohesive whole.
