| Long recognized by critics and her peers as one of the most innovative
and daring Philadelphia-based artists of the last forty years, Elizabeth
Osborne (born 1936) has tirelessly explored the psychologically-charged
space between abstraction and realism. Osborne studied at PAFA (1954-58)
and has been a faculty member since 1963. A prolific and frequent
exhibitor in Philadelphia and throughout the United States, Osborne
has produced a multivalent and challenging body of work that has shifted
tone and content gradually since the 1960s. |
