On the outside she is draped in fine fabric and functions as a symbol; the painting is about the person underneath the role.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllibe gives the textiles the most detailed handling on the canvas and the figure the least — a deliberate inversion that makes the point without stating it. The fabric is worked, patterned and reopened; the face stays unresolved. A twenty-four inch square, and one of the richest surfaces in the collection at this scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKat Allibe is a French-born contemporary painter working in Reno, Nevada, and the originator of Emotional Impressionism.
