“Color is life and life is colorful.” These words of the artist could be a perfect title for a biography of Iris Pagano de Dornier. The present monograph with catalogue raisonné paints her portrait with reference to her native country of Argentina, her extraordinary biography, and her entire oeuvre as viewed from the vantage points of art history and recent history in general. Readers will become familiar with Iris Pagano de Dornier as a woman and artist. Her works and their underlying ideas, conceptions and biographical reference are described in detail, resulting in the picture of a fascinating personality whose origins, path in life and unique art touch us profoundly. “Her painting is as exuberant in color as her life. Yet the pictures she painted at crucial points in her life were reduced to black and white. Do these reflect the extremes of her personality? One thing is certain: She shaped her life into a work of art.” – Pia Parth
