“The three or four horizontal planes give a first impression of Mark Rothko, for that was his image. However, the handling of paint, even through it again seeks the illusion of transparency of color, is very different. The works are not huge, to encompass the eye in a total environment.

Anenberg-W, however views her work as landscape or seascape. At an early eage, she was impressed by the beautiful views on summer vacation around Hunter Mountain in the Catskills, and later she moved to Long Island along the sea.
