Untitled (Palms in Cursive)
Estate-Authorized
Acrylic in Frameless Face-Mounted Gallery-Style Mounting
Untitled (Purple Palm Tree in Cursive) is a palm tree written, not drawn. 18 × 24 inches, acrylic on canvas. Barbara Romain's text-based instinct meets her California landscape in this purple, cursive-written palm — language and image collapsed into a single gesture. From the body of work where she let handwriting do what the brush used to do. Half love letter to Los Angeles, half signature, all swagger.
Untitled (Palms in Cursive) — Gallery Acrylic 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.
