In her fourth one-person exhibition with Lerner-Heller Gallery presented Downtown at 112 Greene Street, Joan Semmel presented large-scale works from her Echoing-Images series (1979–81). In paintings like Purple Diagonal (1980; Dallas Museum of Art, TX), Semmel juxtaposes images of the artist’s nude form in smaller realist renderings with larger expressionistic ones within the canvas.
