Hi Barbara. So pleased you are still painting so well and traveling too. I lost my studio last October (2015) and have caught upon some writing since. Nice you mention me. And that you upload your new work on Facebook. I’m giving a talk at UCL next month and showing some paintings (PICS 2016 conference).

i feel very fortunate to have lived with a few of Barbara Kassel paintings over the years, and feel they are almost zen like in their effect on me. Thank you for the wonderful interview

Barbara Kassell does not live to paint, rather she must paint to live.
Someday, soon, her genius will out …to the world. Not unlike Vermeer.
Truly.

Hi Barbara. I read your interview with great interest and enjoyment. Your descriptions of painting on site in Africa and China are amazing. Would make a good book, with your travel paintings as inspiration. Also like hearing about your experiences at Slade, and your encounters with those famous personalities. Good to read about your process and your ambitions. Good to know more about you after all these years.

I enjoyed your whole interview and especially the schooling you had in England, where you learned precision. i did wonder whether your last name Kassel was somehow connected to the german city? I ask that because my wife was born there and Mahler created his initial great works there.

Barbara,
I really appreciate your commentary on your amazing training in London and at Yale…what a fabulous experience. Your work is wonderful to look at even in reproduction and I look forward to standing in front of your work sometime soon. Beautifully realized.
