“Art is a calling. There is something within the artist that has to be expressed. Every creation reveals something more about the universe and about the artist.” – Audrey Flack
The esteemed artist shares her experiences with Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Bill and Elaine de Kooning, and Grace Hartigan, etc., in her memoir, Audrey Flack: With Darkness Came Stars.
