Biography

As a painter, Edgar has been classified as a "wom[a]n artist who broke the rules,"[4] and her lively, and often large, abstractions typically include a "mass of layered colors—with multiple glazes, opacities, broad areas laid down in washes"[5] while "using dynamic strokes and contrasting tones [that] ... juxtapose[s] color with areas of vacant canvas."[6] Her skill and interests built on early art training at Brooklyn College with Mark Rothko, Ad Reinhardt, Burgoyne Diller, Alfred Russell, Harry Holzman, Martin James,[1] and a degree in art history from Columbia University.[7] That background laid the groundwork for a life-long appreciation for abstraction, which spanned reviews for Isamu Noguchi, Norman Bluhm, Esteban Vicente and Franz Kline[7] as well as a 1965 review on "The Satisfactions of Robert Motherwell" for ArtNews,[2] in which she explained her thinking about abstraction this way:

The almost-star could be a starfish, two ovals suggest anatomy, an egg-shape might be an egg, a blot a cocoon, a rumpled paper bag evokes the many lives it passed through, an almost-arch strains to bend more or straighten out, almost-triangle yearns to be perfect. They assume the capability needed to reach their ideals at one extreme, or, at the other extreme, their freedom in abstract invention. From familiar shapes they are transfigured into dramatic images.[8]
Edgar has written and collaborated on many long-form projects on the early history of Abstract Expressionism. Her book Club Without Walls documents the movement's birth and development at the 8th Street Club.[9] Collaborative work with husband and sculptor Phillip Pavia, also on the Club, is now archived at Emory University's research libraries.[10][11] Edgar has also served as a source for scholarly research on the movement's origins at MOMA[12] and in interviews with author Mary Gabriel for Ninth Street Women, a book about five women painters who changed modern art.[13]
