The Shape of Color

Published in the fall of 2010, The Shape of Color is a collection of recent paintings by Carol Aronson-Shore featuring two New England locations, Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine. Continuing in the tradition of the American Luminist painting, Aronson-Shore’s series of architectural landscapes are characterized by a glowing light. Both settings have provided the artist with compelling views capturing and defining those privileged moments when light first appears and disappears, creating in these scenes an experience of time, place and memory. As Kimberly Alexander writes in her essay, “The series offers new glimpses and original concepts to an environment steeped in history, creating fresh perspectives and innovative dialogues—held in balance by color, form, and light.”
