Quotation
When you are working, you are alone with yourself. You get in touch with your own destiny. Like entering a dream state, the tendency is to disbelieve that that state has validity. But that is the true reality.

Biographical
Audrey Flack is most often identified as one of the leading artists of Photorealism. A graduate of Yale University's School of Art and Architecture, where she studied with renowned color abstractionist Josef Albers, Audrey Flack returned to figurative painting as early as 1952. By the early 1960s, she began working from photographs, often representing such strong socio-political events as civil rights marches, President Kennedy's assassination, and anti-war protests. Flack produced her first "photorealist" work, the Farb Family Portrait in 1969. Unlike many other photorealists's work, Flack's paintings were often filled with personal memorabilia and closely related to her experiences as a woman. By the early 1980s Flack depicted spiritual beings, goddesses in particular, a theme she has continued to pursue. The monumental portrait of her daughter, entitled Hannah: Who She Is, now in the museum's collection, is the first such image of the woman/goddess.
