Jane Wilson - a Review by Donald Goddard (1032 words)
Torr studied to be an artist in Philadelphia, where she was born in 1886, but didn't consistently work at her art until she met the painter Arthur Dove in about 1919 (although they may also have met earlier).
Torr and Dove derived their individuality from their connection to each other and their surroundings, which means that in the strength of their bond their sensibilities are really quite different.
Torr is interested in the emergence of images--"out of the shadows." She assumes that there is a structure, based perhaps on Dove's passionate and constant explorations, or perhaps simply from looking through windows or at the configurations of a boat.
