Best Wishes
Estate-Authorized Print
Collectors Estate Editions (#1-100)
Archival pigment on museum-quality cotton rag paper
Best Wishes is the painting that proves landscape and abstraction were never separate for Barbara. 14 × 18 inches, acrylic on canvas. Estate-noted as the border zone between Barbara Romain's landscape body of work and her abstract paintings — a small, intimate piece that doesn't decide which it is and doesn't need to. Painted from memory, color and rhythm, not from observation. Cold light, warm hand. It stays with you longer than its size suggests.
Best Wishes — Collector's Estate Edition
Barbara Romain (1949–2024) was a Philadelphia-trained, Los Angeles–based painter whose work has been exhibited at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the de Young Museum, and the John F. Kennedy Center, among others. Diagnosed with a degenerative retinal disease in 1984, she spent four decades pioneering a celebrated body of work she called "visual music"—building paintings from what she could hear, remember, and imagine rather than what she could see. Working with braille-labeled paints, hand-cut stencils, and brilliant color, she turned the loss of sight into a new way of seeing. These prints are released under authorization of the Estate of Barbara Romain.
