Operations had corrected her eyesight, and she was newly aware of modern art, so different from the literal style of her youthful drawings. In Manhattan, her life was hectic, with raucous parties in her loft, lovers of both sexes, and freelance design jobs. Initially drawn to the rigorous formalism of Piet Mondrian, she received critical praise for her jazzy absractions. During the 1950s, she began to paint interiors and landscapes. By 1959, when the Whitney Museum purchased one of her paintings, her career was firmly established. That year, she contracted a severe form of polio on a trip to Greece; suddenly, she was a paraplegic. Undaunted, she taught herself to paint in oil with her left hand, reserving her right hand for watercolours. 000890985 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on June 13, 2019). 000890985 60010 $$aBlaine, Nell,$$d1922-1996. 000890985 650_0 $$aPainters$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000890985 650_0 $$aWomen painters$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000890985 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780190908812 000890985 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000890985 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000890985 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190908812.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000890985 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:890985$$pGLOBAL_SET 000890985 980__ $$aEBOOK 000890985 980__ $$aBIB 000890985 982__ $$aEbook 000890985 983__ $$aOnline
