Silhouette Compositions


Ellen Young Woman seated near Window

14. Young Woman seated near a Window c 1967

A silhouetted woman seated by a window was featured from 1967 (see above fig 14). Olive continued and developed the approach until 1979 when it appears that Olive took the further step of very rarely including people in her work but she focussed on flowers and her abstract work. What follows are paintings where the silhouette technique is chosen for the composition.
