Sherrie McGraw studied in New York at the Art Students’ League (where she has also taught) and at the New York Academy. A classical realist by training, McGraw is deeply interested in “abstract realism,” where, as she puts it, “subject matter is a vehicle—not the reason—for painting.” The Walking Stick shows how McGraw’s investment in paint quality, the rhythms of color, and in the arrangement of abstract forms that constructs a harmonious representation. Consider the gold bucket and the bracelet, the touches of turquoise in the moccasins and in the beaded necklace, and in the zig-zag yellow on the stick and in the breechcloth.
-James D. Balestrieri
