Born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1940, Steir * developed an interest in art at a young age.  It was Steir’s training in graphic arts and * illustration that allowed her to develop her eclectic visual vocabulary. * * * Steir rejected traditional forms of composition in favor of seemingly * unrelated shapes and forms. She composed her works in combinations of * random brushstrokes, grid lines, color charts, signs, color fields and * pictorial elements to create canvases that display a self-conscious * symbolism. Drips of paint in the works can refer to the actual process * of painting. Within her works there is no fixed meaning, as the artist * allows her viewers to draw their own inferences based on their personal * history and associations. In process, Steir starts with a mark that is * developed into a unit of signs and symbols. * * * * * * *
