Margaret Tomkins, 85, whose abstract paintings have been exhibited in
the Pacific Northwest as well as at the Chicago Art Institute and New
York's Whitney Museum of American Art and the Metropolitan Museum of
Art, died March 14 in a nursing home in Sedona, Ariz. She had a heart
ailment. Her work first won attention in the 1940s, when she painted
tough, lively surrealist abstractions that glowed with hard, gritty
color. She later abandoned color for black, white and gray, and her
work became more reflective. Ms. Tomkins, who painted until her death
but was increasingly detached from the art world, produced stately
abstractions full of soft pastel color during the last three decades
of her life.
