Ursula Sternberg - Between Two Wor(l)ds
A retrospective of Ursula Sternberg's (1925-2000) works.
Ursula shied away from being called a Philadelphia Artist, an American, a European Artist, or a Woman Artist. To her, she was "An Artist".
To Ursula, words are inextricably linked to the overall artistry of her paintings.
Ursula is a gay and sophisticated primitive, a not too serious descendant of the Douanier Rousseau. Brightly colored balloons ascend against a background of tropical grass and palm trees….
Ursula was a fundamentally upbeat spirit. She prevailed in impossible circumstances to reach levels of self actualization that few people ever reach. She challenged current art world trends. She was one of those people who didn’t simply enter a room; she consumed it and its inhabitants with her eyes, taking in every inch, then filling it with anticipation of what would come next.
