Giving a Face to Place: New Paintings of Ethel Gittlin

“Ethel Gittlin's new landscape painting series Seasons 2011 are a bit like visual recapitulative time machines. This means that they have very much to do with the visual pleasures of experiencing place and space as they do with the pleasures of capturing (or trying to encode) the memory of such experiences and the sensations they produced when initially felt: bodily, mentally and psychically. That last element is important as at the core of it Gittlin is intent on depicting the land and what it arouses in us as we emplace ourselves in a natural environment that moves us and that we get attached to. The artist's paintings record her experiencing of what lies at the core of Nature for us, what philosopher Karl Jaspers once referred to as ‘the soul of a landscape, the spirits of the elements, the genius of every place…’ The artist does exactly this in a unique and unexpected fashion. The results are as philosophically resonant as they are visually enticing.” (Read more.)
