Description: V. Sperring: The Elusive Modernist of Mid-Century America Born: October 15, 1922, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CaliforniaDied: March 3, 1981, New York City, New York Early Life and Artistic Awakening: Violet "V." Sperring was born in the bohemian enclave of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, to a family of artists and free thinkers. Her parents, both involved in the local art scene, encouraged her early interest in painting. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of the California coast and the vibrant creative community of Carmel, Sperring developed an early appreciation for bold colors and abstract forms, which would later define her work. After graduating high school, Sperring moved to San Francisco in the early 1940s, where she briefly attended the California School of Fine Arts. However, she soon dropped out, disillusioned by traditional art instruction and eager to carve out her own path. This decision marked the beginning of her journey as a self-taught artist, exploring the burgeoning world of mid-century modernism. Breaking Through: By the late 1950s, Sperring had relocated to New York City, immersing herself in the dynamic art scene of Greenwich Village. It was during this time that she began to develop her signature style: impressionistic floral still lifes rendered in a distinctly modernist fashion. Her work blended the organic forms of flowers with abstract shapes, creating compositions that were both bold and delicate, bursting with color and emotion.
