“Dorothy Koppelman...shows the arresting distinction of her own painting.... The scything blades of color in the richly textured, formidably composed Carrots; the quick, cool lyricism of Young Boy; above all, the White Plane Paintings with their dominating interplay of vigorously incised lines, sweep of color and flow of white: all these reveal Mrs. Koppelman her own painterly mistress, well at ease. ”
“In Carrots, I enjoyed finding irregularity in smoothness, showing symmetry in the broken. I broke up rocks, made them soft, juxtaposed a wash with an impasto. I wanted to get heavy flatness into circular motion.” —DK
