Paperback. Condizione: New. An in-depth study of Mary Heilmann's mesmerizing works on paper that explores drawing as a form of daydreaming and memory-making for the influential abstract painter.  Mary Heilmann's works on paper are suffused with the same sensibility as her influential abstract paintings, a casual playfulness animating a rigorous attention to form and colour, resulting in joyful, evocative geometries.
