She is equally gifted in drawing, painting, sculpting, paper and printmaking. Her travels have taken her to Europe as well as Asia and the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer cultural nomadism has influenced her art with a sort of material transmutation combining both Eastern and Western cultures, reflecting somehow the city where she was born and raised, San Francisco. Throughout her life-long career, she has continued to experiment, deploying an array of media and techniques with their various traditions: gouache, casein, mono-printing, collage, tearing, and also her lost wax bronze sculptures and ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGenn has been a major contributor to the history of post-war American painting. Her career has spanned several generations of abstract painters. She continues to produce vital and ever-changing new work, while being a devoted mother of three. She has held an important position in the movement of gestural abstraction and abstract expressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer artwork was first introduced internationally in 1960 by art critic and philosopher Michel Tapié, who founded with Luigi Moretti e Franco Assetto the Center for Aesthetic Research in Turin and, at the same time, published \u003cem\u003eMorphologie Autre\u003c\/em\u003e in Paris, a seminal text which introduced radical concepts of artistic perception based on a new abstract morphology. He selected a number of artists from Europe, the United States, Canada, and Japan and placed Nancy Genn next to Burri, Fontana, Capogrossi, Tàpies, De Kooning, Motherwell, Pollock, and Tanaka, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461191254252,"sku":"9788857237855","price":78.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788857237855-nancy-genn.jpg?v=1774961577","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/nancy-genn-9788857237855","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
