Charlotte Park
1918–2010
Introduction
Charlotte Park, also known as Charlotte Park Brooks (1918–2010) was an American abstract painter.
Park, who worked as a graphic artist for the Office of Strategic Services intelligence agency during World War II, began work as a professional artist soon afterward. Working in studios in Manhattan and then in eastern Long Island, she was associated with and drew support and inspiration from her husband James Brooks and other first-generation abstract expressionist artists, including her neighbors Jackson Pollock, and Lee Krasner.
During most of her career, she neither sought nor received praise from critics and collectors, but late in life was celebrated for her artistic achievements and showed her work in prestigious solo and group exhibitions. At the end of her life a critic said, "Hers was a major gift all but stifled by a happily embraced domesticity and by the critical bullying of a brutally doctrinaire art world."
