Description
One needn’t look too hard to decipher the mood of Seidler’s abstract collage composition “Bird in an Indian Garden”. Using the simplest shapes and layered, delicate, fibrous papers, Seidler illustrates a simple scene, a view out of a window on a warm day, with the long figure of a tropical bird - perhaps a Nilgiri Flycatcher - perched on a terracotta wall.
The influence of Atelier 17 on Doris Seidler can even be recorded within this collage, a medium very unlike that of printmaking, for within the collage is a remnant of one of her own etchings, the suggestion of a bird’s head near the top.
