Carole Doyle Peel: The Delight of Drawing

By Helen M. Frierson

Carole Peel (b. 1934, Los Angeles) took part in the development and experimentation with modernist art that fermented in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1960s. After receiving a master's degree in art from the University of California, Berkeley, she began teaching at California College of the Arts, (formerly California College of Arts and Crafts), the school where she influenced hundreds of students for nearly half century. Peel's unique approach to drawing and portraiture fuses old-master virtuosity, a mastery of the modernist idiom, and a keen and compassionate vision of contemporary life.This historic retrospective catalogue by Helen Frierson will be the definitive resource on this important artist. Illustrated in full color throughout, the comprehensive biography provides access to a range of material that has never been published, including early paintings from the 1960s and recent drawings, along with fascinating ephemeral materials.Frierson offers valuable primary documentation on Peel and the cultural history of the Northern California art scene. A useful chronology of the artist's life, a bibliography, and documentary photographs make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the art of Carole Peel and contemporary drawing more broadly.
