Audrey Flack
Those with the gift of being a magnificent artist are very unique. Not many people have such special talents that get them so far in life. However, out of the ones that do, they are well admired by others for their work and their talents. One such extremely marvelous artist is Audrey Flack. I strongly admire her work as she has created new fascinating different ways of portraying art. “Not content to merely copy the world as we see it, Audrey Flack has used her obvious technical skills in the service of art, replete with symbols, which comments, on the transitory nature of life and favors the search for spiritual harmony” (B.F.). These are the words of Thalia Gouma-Peterson who wrote a book on Audrey Flack and studied her work in detail. Audrey Flack is a very influential artist and had a huge impact on the world of art as we know it.
Audrey was born in 1931 in New York City where she was raised and attended school. As a young child she loved to paint and frequently practiced this special talent of drawing and painting while she was supposed to be doing her homework. Luckily she was able to formally practice her talents at the most impressive art schools on the east coast. Although her parents weren’t completely in favor of her being an artist, they allowed her to follow her dreams and she was still able to pursue her career. She initially attended a high school with a big program of music and art. Then when she went off to college she went to Cooper Union, which is a fabulous art school. She graduated from there in 1951 and went on to Yale University to receive her bachelors of Fine Arts. After receiving her bachelors, she transferred back to Cooper Union to receive her Honorary Doctorate in 1977 (B.F). During this time she found the time to get married and happily have two daughters. She was able to manage
