With a career spanning over five decades, Selma's artistic journey has taken her from Brooklyn to the prestigious halls of UC Berkeley, Chouinard Art Institute, and UCLA, where she earned her Masters of Arts and MFA. In this dynamic artwork, bright blues, reds, yellows, and greens dance across the canvas, forming abstract shapes that resemble a menagerie of bugs, birds, and flowers. Thick impasto paint adds tactile depth to the composition, while generous white spaces between the forms provide breathing room for the viewer. Selma's rich artistic legacy, showcased in notable exhibitions including UCLA, NYU, Long Beach Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts DC, is now yours to explore and appreciate. Bring her timeless abstraction into your space and immerse yourself in the world of Selma Moskowitz.
