Irene Fletcher

American

Rain
1951

Oil on canvas

Very few Utah artists embraced abstract modernist painting, but this work by Irene gestures towards Cubism with her use of sharp angles and shard-like shapes. Irene may also have been influenced by the New York Ashcan school of painting in her choice of a muted, grey palette and unlovely urban scene. The work is an outlier in her oeuvre, both in terms of content and style.
