Label text from “The Art of Collecting: Contemporary Prints from the Risa Gerrig Collection,” September 10 – October 12, 2014:
A series of curvaceous oscillating bright red lines dominate the composition of this print, forming a jubilant and energetic bed of red flowers. The curving lines create myriad organic forms, from puffy cloud-like blossoms to long, narrow vacillating petals. The pattern established by these differing shapes brings vivacity and movement to the print. Tough Love bounces the eye from flower to flower as it follows the dancing forms across the print’s surface. By engaging the viewer in this dance, Apfelbaum encourages us to viscerally experience the simple pleasure of aesthetics. - Felicia Bolaske (B.A. ‘14)
