Before starting college in 1969, the only art/ists I recall by name were Jackson Pollock + The Golden encyclopedia cover artists.
But, once in college at UNL, certain artists appealed to me.
Some were men (the Cour Field Painters) but women were quite influential,
Eva Hesse
Born January 11, 1936 Hamburg, Germany
Died May 29, 1970 (aged 34) New York City, U.S.
Education: Yale, studied with Josef Albers, Cooper Union, Pratt Institute, Art Students League of New York
She was a Jewish German-born American sculptor, known for her pioneering work in materials such as latex, fiberglass, and plastics. She is one of the artists who ushered in the post-minimal art movement in the 1960s.
Hesse was born into a family of observant Jews in Hamburg, Germany, on January 11, 1936. When Hesse was two years old in December 1938, her parents, hoping to flee from Nazi Germany, sent Hesse and her older sister Helen Hesse Charash to the Netherlands via Kinder-transport. - Rights
