River Reverie
Estate-Authorized
Framed Archival Fine Art Print
River Reverie is a vibrant landscape you enter through memory. Originally 24 × 30 inches, acrylic collage on canvas. Unexpected undertones and pops of color create a lush landscape, which was once observed and then painted from memory. The title names the mode — reverie, not record — a slow current that reads as time itself. You feel it before you see it.
River Reverie — Museum Framed Print
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.
