'Lois Dodd is the most unconventional person I know. She paints
from the inside and her paintings provide sustained viewing. She
does not make a product. The paintings belong to the tradition of
modern art and at the same time connect with American pre-war
painters. Lois's work is alive in our time.'
*Alex Katz*
'In the late 1950s Lois Dodd decided that Abstract Expressionism
painting had been enervated. She felt that a new direction was
needed and she met the challenge by making her figurative painting
more factual. Her rendering of rural Maine opened a fresh chapter
in the long and distinguished history of American scene painting.
These developments are superbly chronicled in Faye Hirsch's
monograph on Lois Dodd.'
*Irving Sandler*
