Today I found an interesting artist her name is Debora Remington I hadn't noticed her before. Born in Hassonfield New Jersey 1930 The year my mum was born, Deborah was drawn to art at a very early age. At the Philadelphia Museum School of industrial arts is where Deborah attended to start her career, as a teenager. Deborah received a BFF in 1955 from San Francisco Art Institute where she studied painting with Clyfford Still. She was one of six painters and poets, and the only woman, who in 1954 founded the now legendary Six Gallery in San Francisco, where Allen Ginsberg first read his poem, ”Howl” in public on October 7, 1955. A descendant of the Western artist Frederic Remington, she embraced illusionistic painting, albeit with her own distinctive version of abstraction. She was one of six painters and poets, and the only woman, who in 1954 founded the now legendary Six Gallery in San Francisco, where Allen Ginsberg first read his poem, ”Howl” in public on October 7, 1955.
After graduation, Remington spent two years in Japan studying calligraphy, then travelled throughout Southeast Asia and India, pursuing a lifelong interest in those cultures,
In 1962, she joined the Dilexi Gallery in San Francisco where she had several solo shows from 1962 to 1965.
A twenty-year retrospective exhibition (1963-1983) of the artist’s work opened at the Newport Harbor Art Museum, California, in 1983, travelling to the Oakland Museum of Art and several other venues.
