"I think there is a fear among some people, art historians especially, of how physical a painting is, of the physicality of paint." —#ElizabethMurray. . Murray's gutsy, strangely shaped canvases of the 1970s and 1980s defied the structured severity of the 1960's #Minimalist movement. Through works like Don't Be Cruel, she pioneered a new way of painting with humor, color, and personality. .
