"Schwabacher is a lyrical and literate writer... ÃÂHungry for Light is much more than an outsiderâs challenge to canonical thinking about twentieth-century painters. It provides a fascinating look at how a woman of intelligence, sensitivity and talent who was all but ignored managed to create meaning in her life despite its pains and contradictions." âWomenâs Review of Books
"The journal is a poignant, lyrical, and meditative record of the feelings and experiences of a woman artist."ÃÂ âWomen Artists News
"Ethel Schwabacher was fierce, uncompromising, tough-minded, and passionately devoted to her painting.... ÃÂComplexÃÂ and ÃÂfascinatingÃÂ are adjectives that barely do her justice. She is also a wonderful writer who unflinchingly confronts her own work and probes for its sources." âCarolyn Kizer
"The âhunger for lightâ in this journal is vivid, vital, compelling, and compulsive. Ethel Schwabacherâs confessions should be required reading for anyone interested not only in the psychology of the ÃÂwomanÃÂ artist but, more generally, in the dynamics of creativity."ÃÂ âSandra Gilbert
"... the journals reveal an admirable and fascinating personality, at once intensely passionate and deeply thoughtful." âNaomi Bliven
"... lyrically precise... These fragmentary jottings mingle joyous visions, ruminations on Michelangelo, Cézanne and Chinese art, an analysis of Schwabacherâs own creative process and meditations on old age.... Schwabacher battled suicidal impulses to produce luminous paintings, reproduced here in 33 color and black-and-white plates.... skillfully edited... " âPublishers Weekly
This journal, kept from 1967 to 1980, takes the reader into the artistâs mind when she was at the height of her powers. An Abstract Expressionist who exhibited at the Betty Parsons Gallery, Schwabacher meditates in these pages on the sources of her own creativity, and she observes the process of her own aging and approaching death.
