Reviews: “Intensity of response characterizes each picture….By itself it has no power to make a picture good or bad. The fact that they are good as well as moving depends on the vitality of her touch and the strength of her color, both of which are out of the ordinary.” — S.Preston, NYTimes, 1961
“The White Plane paintings with their dominating interplay of vigorously incised lines, sweep of color and flow of white: all these reveal Mrs. Koppelman her own painterly mistress, well at ease.” Art News, 1961
