By Eve Wood

Birds, animals, and odd characters populate this delightful and humorous book of imaginative color studies that resist pandemic-era social deprivation and general malaise with vivid, irreverent, and sometimes naughty personae.

Artist Eve Wood has a ribald sense of humor and for decades has had a distinctive presence in the Los Angeles art scene. Also an art critic, poet, and bird rescuer, the many facets of her colorful life come together in Remarks on Color, which was conceived as a serial for the longest running art magazine in Southern California, L.A.’s beloved Artillery. In this book, Eve writes about a rainbow of colors to accompany her first monograph — some of her best artwork to date. In the collection, we get to live with Wood and her bestiary, contemplating the world’s marvels and its ills. Her dog sleeps on a Ukranian-gold and blue rug; her raven vacuums the house; characters from movies and art stand in for obnoxious or dreamy colors; and the birds – so many birds – sing of freedom.
