QA Winston-Salem icon, artist, and trailblazer for women artists in the South, Anne Kesler Shields, lost her battle with cancer on October 6, 2012. She was born January 27, 1932, in Winston-Salem and was a lifelong resident. She received a classical art education at Hollins College. She pursued advanced art studies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, ME, and the Hans Hoffmann School of Fine Art in Provincetown, MA (1957). She received an MFA from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She maintained an active art career from her early twenties until her death, resulting in her having been touted as Winston-Salems most accomplished, living native-born artist.geometrically focused abstract works that Shields made between 1963 and 1978. Shields began this period of her art after discovering Josef Albers book Interaction of Color, then newly published. She had seen examples of his work but wasnt familiar with the theories behind his art until she read his book and closely studied 150 color plates that illustrate principles discussed in the text, such as color relativity, intensity, and temperature, and the illusions of transparency and reversed grounds. Almost immediately she began experimenting with the dynamics of optical perception in a series of color-charged, dot-patterned paintings and prints that occupied her until around 1970 and brought her national attention.
