HELLE
BARNSTONE BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
|
|
Helle Tzalopoulou-Barnstone
was raised and educated in Greece, and
later studied at Wellesley College,
Massachusetts, where she took her B.A.
degree in English literature. She did
her graduate degree in fine arts at Yale
University where she studied painting
and color interaction theory with Joseph
Albers of the Bauhaus. She lives in
Bloomington, Indiana, a university city
in mid-America, and spends part of each
year in Athens and in her house on the
Greek island of Serifos in the Cyclades.
Her paintings reflect both
continents. She has exhibited widely in
New York, Chicago, Mexico City, Munich,
Prague and Athens.
In exact parallel to incitement in
Georgia O'Keefe's canvases, Helle
Barnstone's work awakens. When I read
her paintings, I wake at last to
visionary precincts she finds in
familiar land-and seascapes. With the
innocence of her candid colors, with the
mysteries of her inner shapes, from the
stalactites of Greek waves and the water
lotuses at edges of America, her work
opens our eyes to worlds. She permits us
vision.
— Willis Barnstone
