ARTFORUM DECEMBER 1962/JANUARY 1963

 We previously linked to another ARTFORUM article here.  There's another one here a year later, which has some interesting notes.

Ruth Dicker

THE HORSE'S MOUTH GALLERY

The encaustic technique is used in the major portion of these works. Miss Dicker studied with Carl Zerbe who has been using this practice for many years. The paintings range in style from sche­matic representation to totally abstract evocations of landscapes. The latest abstract works have a restrained surface quality wholly in keeping with the me­dium used.

—James Monte

I don't remember another other reference to Carl Zerbe so I am curious about that.  Wikipedia has an article on Karl Zerbe, which I am going to assume is the same since they both reference encaustic.  Other possible connections include New York City in the 40's and both showing at the Nordness Gallery in the early 60's. The show flyer for The Horse's Mouth Gallery is here.
