Last week I saw the wonderful exhibition of Etel Adnan’s drawings, paintings and tapestries in Düsseldorf. I was overwhelmed by her use of color. This catalog, I hope, will give me deeper knowledge and better understanding of this fascinating author and painter.

For Etal Adnan ... painting is not an object: it is a process of inquiry, a question without an answer. It can never be either finished or perfect.

Etel Adnan impresses not only as author and artist. Also as a political person she can serve as a role model.

Simon Fattale, Etel Adnan’s Partner in art and life, quotes Etel in her article: “Color is the sign of the existence of life. … I exist because I see colors.” Or as Simone puts it: “(Her paintings) convey the happiness experienced while painting them, the joy of using color. … No lamentation, no elegy. Love.”
