Description

Jan Groover: Laboratory of Forms offers a rediscovery of the life and work of this unduly forgotten American artist. Her career spanned multiple disciplines, with photography becoming her primary medium in the 1970s. A distinct style emerged, combining elements of both painting and photography. Groover's carefully composed still-lifes were highly regarded by galleries and critics alike. By the late 1980s, her photographs were being sought after by only a handful of galleries beginning to embrace photographic art. This book provides a comprehensive overview of Groover's career, from her early beginnings in America to her later years in France. The publication includes essays on her life and work, as well as a personal contribution by her husband, alongside the images. A generous selection of photographs showcases Groover's artistic development over time.
