This painting was featured in our weekly email on 9/12/14 along with the following gallery comments:
Emabelle Flanagan (almost always going by 'Em') graduated from Jefferson H.S. in Lafayette, IN and lived and painted most of her life in central Indiana. In the vintage context, she’s a little under the radar but I love her mid-century, loose yet painterly approach to her work. Think Derk Smit and Dorothy Franz in terms of style (a bit under the radar themselves). Holiday Park Twins is a really nice example and it’s Holiday Park, an Indianapolis fixture. (Nice article on history of Holiday Park’s ruins, here. Friends of Holiday Park current improvement initiative, here. ) Love the local subject matter! A very competent work by an oft-overlooked Indiana artist.
