Deborah Remington


                  Deborah Remington  Memphis  1969  oil on canvas  60" x 53"

               I remember Remington's work in the 60's and 70"s as giving me the feeling
             of abstraction subverted by surrealism. Neither here or there in the scheme
             of art history as it was written up to that point.
              Looking at them now I understand how she could have been wrongly marginalized
              and should be looked at for what she was, a fully committed self directed 
              painter of substantial works of art. Odd how time and distance can clear the 
              mind.
