BY WAY OF
stories of modern day women
Eva Hesse is one the most renowned Artist. She was born on January
11, 1936 in Hamburg, Germany. She flew to America during the rise of Nazism. Hesse
is professionally trained as an abstract painter and commercial designer, along
with that she is a paradigmatic postwar American artist. “Reducing her means in
the spirit of Minimalism, Hesse explored by way of the simplest materials how
to suggest a wide range of organic associations, psychological moods, and what
might be called proto-feminist, sexual innuendo.” Most of her art reflected
emotional and physical hardships. Her art reflected her depression and
socio-political agenda. She was one of the first artists to experiment with the
fluid contours of the organic world of nature. Her art also expressed feminist
reference to female body. Hesse died in May of 1970 and young age of 34
"I think art is a total thing. A total person giving a contribution. It is an essence, a soul.. In my inner soul art and life are inseparable." Eva Hesse
