B.C. VITAL STATISTICS ON-LINE death (refer to BCVS)
"Watercolors and drawings by Dorothy Kennedy in her first
one-man show at the Gallery are modernistic in tendency, with emphasis on ample
forms, sense of weight and (?) which is personal and expressive.
Employing somewhat the "color division" method of Signa (?) and Seurat, the artist
seeks vibration of color. Miss Kennedy obtains an effective illusion of
palpitating light through her dots of clean paint, showing bits of the underground
of white paper, and through proper juxtaposition of contrasting tones. To this
she adds a certain power of construction and organization.
Her rendering of the human figure displays poise and dignity, although a certain
characteristic habit of showing a diminutive head on a rather unwieldy body will
disturb some observers. The artist's special force and unusual viewpoint are seen
especially in some fine passages of color in the watercolors "Woman in a Chair,"
"Nude." "Woman Dressing," and "Portrait of a Young Girl.""
