Debra Bermingham
Debra Bermingham is an American artist known for her interior scenes and still lifes. Biography Debra Pandell Bermingham was born in Northampton, Massachusetts on September 18, 1953. She was educated at the University of Washington, Seattle, and Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. She has held teaching positions at the University of Washington, Hobart College, Cornell University, and Ithaca College. Work Bermingham paints realistic interiors. Everyday objects are rendered strange and lyrical by her odd compositions and fuzzy lighting. The results are enigmatic little scenes not clarified by their equally puzzling titles. She describes the rationale for her subject matter thus: “Finding the edge between the compelling atmosphere of an image from memory and an image from dream is the crux of my painting.” Many of her works are still lifes with diminutive objects dwarfed by the surrounding spaces. Like Giorgio Morandi (who is often mentioned in discussion of her work), B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Painters From Massachusetts
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. In art, the term ''painting ''describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called "a painting"). The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects. Painting is an important form in the visual arts, bringing in elements such as drawing, composition, gesture (as in gestural painting), narration (as in narrative art), and abstraction (as in abstract art). Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in still life and landscape painting), photographic, abstract, narrative, s ...

People From Northampton, Massachusetts
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
