Product Description:
Eugenie Alter Propp is a self-taught New York artist who has been working in collage and found-object assemblage for the past 25 years, but only recently has her art been seen by the public in shows in the United States and Europe. Born in Moscow in 1922, she and her father emigrated from a privileged life in Vienna to America following the Nazi takeover. She led a happy life in her adopted country and, in 1960 began to create art utilizing an original technique that blended collage and domestic materials--fabric, sequins, beads, ribbon, and lace--with a woman's sensibility. Later she expanded her aesthetic with assemblage and environmental installations of found materials--from family heirlooms to Barbie dolls. This very first book on the artist features 144 vivid colour reproductions, and original essays by American Folk Art Museum curator Lee Kogan, and art critic Lori Waxman.

Ms. Propp works within the fairly unexplored world of fiber collage. I like Ms. Propp, her personal story and her family's. Perhaps because I like Ms. Propp (and only through the book, I never met her), I tend more to like her work. Ms. Propp is very sincere about what she does. A lovely visual exploration of one woman's passion. Vicki Stone-artist

HI! I'm the grandaughter of the auther of this book. I think it's great for kids with lots of colorful pages. I even did a few pieces of art myself! It shows her love for nature, culture,imagination, and color! It is truly a great book!
