Composition Black & Red is a groundbreaking work from the early 1950s. Lavishly applied with oil paint mixed with sand and ash, Blow clearly delights in the process of making paintings. She methodically layers thickened oil paste to the surface of the canvas to create a texturally rich experience. Its constituent forms are as much as an assimilation of what Blow learned from Alberto Burri with his use of unconventional ''found materials' as they are a personal response to the natural environment.
