Composite 87 -2

At the time of her death in 1997, Ida Kohlmeyer was widely considered Louisiana’s most renowned artist. Composite 87 -2 is a fine example of the gestural movement, vibrant color, and expressive shapes that are often found in her work. She is known for these organic shapes and symbols, which at first were structured in a grid format, then later applied in looser compositions such as this painting.
