The October 2024 Sale of Original Works by Susan Seddon Boulet

Susan Seddon Boulet  is considered an important founding member of the American Visionary Art Movement.  Her magnificent works are widely held in collections around the world.  Four books have been written about her life and art, "Shaman: The Paintings of Susan Seddon Boulet", "The Goddess Paintings",  "The Power of the Bear" and "Susan Seddon Boulet:A Retrospective", written by Michael Babcock and published by Pomegranate Art Books. 

Susan Seddon Boulet's art continues to exert a profound influence on the lives that it touches.  Anais Nin wrote:

"These figures are out of our dreams, those which flee from us upon awakening, those which are dispersed like dew at dawn, those which fall apart between our fingers like dust-roses.  Susan has a more muted step, or perhaps she is invisible more soft-voiced, soft-gestured, as the images do not escape from her.  She can return from her voyages with intact descriptions from places never visited by us but which we remember."

We are again very pleased to include notations from Michael Babcock about the work offered. Michael was a close friend of Susan's and her biographer. His numerous books about Susan and her art, have served to document and give personal insight into Susan and her artistic legacy.  The notations follow these headings…

From Michael Babcock:
