I've just returned from a wonderful trip to Chicago. It was so great to see such wonderful art, architecture, people, and the wedding of my assistant, Rich Green. I understand why people love Chicago so. Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago are just treasures. And Scott Woods and I had some of the most amazing food we've had in years.</div>

<i>The Imperative of Beauty </i>traces Barbara's earliest influences and education, the shift in her practice following Hurricane Iwa, and her work since that time, which has grown increasingly complex and ambitious. Three essays examine the evolution of her work. Art historian Paul Eli Ivey explores the work up until 1985; New York writer and critic Carter Ratcliff sees her work moving from turmoil to serenity; and museum director and curator Marilyn A. Zeitlin considers her approaches to beauty and the tradition of ornament. Interviews in the artist's own voice reveal the relationship between Barbara's life experience and her art. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">
The book not only documents the progress of an individual artist but also reflects the trajectory of women working in the arts in the latter part of the twentieth and early part of the twenty-first centuries, and the challenge facing an artist working in the American West outside the world's major art centers.</div>

<br />
Happy Holidays! 2010 has been a special year for me. My studio has been the site of practically 24/7 activity for the past year. <br />
<br />
I could not have been as happy or productive were it not for my wonderful friends, family, collectors and art world colleagues. All of you helped me, encouraged me and offered your advice and support whenever and however you could. You and your friendship enrich my world immeasurably! As Anais Nin said, "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."<br />
<br />
Three momentous events are converging: the launch of the cruise ship Allure of the Seas, for which I created the largest body of work I have undertaken, with enormous paintings that decorate the main dining room, and which are the art centerpiece of this lavish ship; an upcoming retrospective at the Tucson Museum of Art which will tour nationally; and the publication of a monographic overview of my life and work. In direct and indirect ways, my friends and family have fused with the hard work to make all these things possible. <br />
<br />
I am asking friends and family to assist me with donations toward the publication. This book will not be one out of many. It will be the definitive record of my output over a period of more than five decades and includes 150 images reflecting my development as an artist, critical texts, and a chronology of events in my life. Critical texts will be contributed by Carter Ratcliff, Paul Ivey, and Marilyn Zeitlin. The book, which will be produced by Marquand Books, one of the best design houses specializing in art books, will have international distribution. <br />
<br />
The book will include an acknowledgment page with a list of individuals who have given at various levels. It would be wonderful if you could contribute to the publication. I have partnered with a good friend, Ted Decker, and his non-profit organization in our fundraising efforts. All donations to the book should be made payable to the <b>Ted Decker Catalyst Fund</b> and earmarked “Barbara Rogers Book Fund” in the memo line. These contributions will be tax-deductible for all who support the publication. Donations may be sent directly to:<br />
<br />
<b>The Ted Decker Catalyst Fund<br />
5948 E. Orange Blossom Lane<br />
Phoenix, AZ 85018-6733</b><br />
<br />
Please feel free to visit <a href="http://www.tedgdecker.com/ted-decker-catalyst-fund.php">www.tedgdecker.com</a> for more information on this great organization.<br />
<br />
To date, nearly 50% of the funds have been raised, including a portion of the resources earned from the Allure commission. We have now set a goal of an additional $44,000 to realize this project at the highest level of quality.<br />
<br />
Best wishes to you always,<br />
<br />

<br />
Barbara was awarded a commission to create 17 mural size paintings for the dining room of Royal Caribbean International's Allure of the Seas. The three-story "Adagio" dining room where Rogers’ work is featured is the "must see space" on the Allure. The largest of the murals is 27 feet high and 17.5 feet wide. The other sixteen murals are 4 feet by 10 feet. <br />
<br />
The murals celebrate the diversity of the world in keeping with the theme of the ship, “The Cultures of Our World”. Each piece is a dramatic blending of colors, textures and ornamental shapes that feature the beauty and richness of both nature and traditions in countries recently visited by the artist. Gardens in Bali, Japan, South Korea, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil Europe, the United Arab Emirates and India inform and inspire her forms and color relationships. The oil on canvas paintings were created in Rogers' studio in Tucson. <br />
<br />
This book documents an exciting moment in Barbara's life and what promises to be the start of a new chapter in her career. Sign-up to Barbara's mailing list to recieve more information on the upcoming publication of a catalog covering the entirty of her artistic career. <br />
