Description

Considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science, Ayurveda is a holistic approach to medicine designed to help people live long, healthy lives by finding balance in the body and mind. In this painting, open shapes and markings frame a vertical blue background. Nothing is sealed; color and form pass freely through the work.

Gertrude Fisher-Fishman was born in Philadelphia and studied at the Barnes Foundation. She currently resides in Florida.
