Nicole Rudick interviewed Gladys Nilsson for the Paris Review in November. They talk about Seurat, Pollock, German Expressionism, classical beauty, and of course her work. Nilsson speaks of the new work, which I posted on earlier in the most direct manner possible

Sometimes my people know exactly what’s going on, and other times they’re just going along and suddenly they realize that there are little corner pockets that have some awfully strange stuff going on.Check out the full interview here
