About the artist:

Francine Tint is one of America's leading abstractionists. Championed by Clement Greenberg, she has been referred to as "one of the strongest and most communicative of the current color field painters" by Phyllis Herfield in the New York Review of Art. Her work has been described as "both visceral and cerebral ... explosively energetic and pensive." Tint states that "great art comes from the art itself. When art is good, it sweeps away doubt and creates its own meaning." She lists as her primary influences Hans Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Jules Olitski and Larry Poons, and her work has often been shown alongside that of Olitski and Poons. This will be her twenty sixth solo exhibition. Her list of collectors, both public and private, has been said to "resemble a small phone directory," and includes twenty museums throughout the country such as the Portland Museum of Art and the Stanford University Museum of Art, as well as corporations and private collectors around the world. Corporate collectors include Citibank, Pepsi Co and Pfizer. Tint was the 2003 Grant Recipient of the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation and the 2004 Grant Recipient of the Pollack-Krasner Foundation.
