Authors: Susanne Dyckman & Elizabeth Robinson Publisher: Apogee Press (2024) In Rendered Paradise, poets Susanne Dyckman and Elizabeth Robinson invite the reader into the worlds of three major women artists: Vivian Maier, Agnes Martin and Kiki Smith. Dyckman and Robinson bring a radical collaborative approach to this gathering: through their shared vision, contemplation, and creation, each artist's works are encountered as unique presences coming alive in fresh and unexpected ways. Rendered Paradise offers diverse and intense pleasures as well as rich problems to consider, including the subject-object relations in artmaking and the women's experiences in the arts and in society. Finally, this remarkable book isn't "about" the artworks it engages with, but is its own work of art, new and wondrous.
