Book of Important Dates Illustrated with Eleanor Gilpatricks Anti-War Paintings

Eleanor Gilpatrick is a contemporary realist. She paints landscapes, figural works, and still lifes that capture fragments of the world that arrest the viewer in terms of composition, color, and content. Working in acrylic on canvas, a modern colorist, she expresses an affirmation of life with a hint of the solitary. Her recent work includes the "Issues of Our Time" series, illustrated in this book, which expresses her deep feelings about peace in the world. She offers the experience of connection through the visual images she paints. Prior to her art career, Eleanor Gilpatrick was professor at the School of Health Sciences, Hunter College, City University of New York (CUNY). She won prizes for painting and draftsmanship in high school and at the Educational Alliance in New York City, but chose to study the social sciences in college and graduate school. She eventually became an expert in health care policy and human resources, authored four books, directed a masters program in health services administration, and pioneered courses in critical thinking and writing. She picked up the thread of drawing and painting in 1998 in plein-air workshops in Italy and returned to serious study at Hunter College. Now, Professor Emerita at Hunter College, she is painting independently. An inventory of her artwork is online at: http: //www.zibbet.com/Egilpatr
