""He taught me not to judge a work while you're making it. That whole Abstract Expressionist struggle-fighting with the paint, having a hard time, thinking, 'This painting is killing me!' He didn't believe in all that.""
""Steir was devoted body and soul to the medium of painting itself, ultimately creating a body of work entirely her own, distinct from the Minimalism and Conceptualism of her contemporaries.""
Pat Steir, a significant American painter, was influenced by Sol LeWitt during her time at Bruce Nauman's house in the 1970s. LeWitt taught her to avoid judging her work during its creation, contrasting with the Abstract Expressionist struggle. Steir's Waterfall series, initiated in the late 1980s, marked her late recognition as an artist, showcasing her dedication to painting. Born in 1938 in Newark, New Jersey, she aimed to carve her own path in art, inspired by her parents' artistic backgrounds.
