Generously illustrated, it traces Groover’s career from the beginnings as a self-taught painter and draughtswoman in America to her late years in western France. Essays on her life and work, her significance as an artist, alongside a very personal contribution by her husband, French artist and critic Bruce Boice, complement the images. Groover obtained her formal education as an artist at New York’s Pratt Institute and Ohio State University. In the 1970s she turned to photography, without ever giving up painting and drawing entirely. She developed a distinct artistic attitude that let her amalgamate both disciplines. Especially for her carefully composed still-lifes she earned much recognition. Experiments with older photographic techniques, such as platinum print and early 20th-century large-format cameras, are characteristic for the late work. Tatyana Franck is director of Lausanne’s Musée de l’Elysée since 2015. Prior to this she has directed the Archives Claude Picasso in Geneva as well as a number of important photography collections, and has curated various exhibitions. New titles 2019–2020 11
