The New York Times, “In Pelham, Artists  Who Take to the Road”  - Vivien Raynor, 8/16/92

 

"But the artist who covers the most ground is Nancy Ungar. Of her seven pastels, three were done in upstate New York, three in the West and one in Florida. The most ambitious of them feature slate-colored roads diving down between, respectively, rust-brown hills and a canyon carved of gray rock. Ms. Ungar appreciates not only landscape but also the hazards of driving it, as in "Rainy Day, Binghamton." This is the kind of situation where everything is a smear, and the only guide is the tail lights of the vehicle up ahead, in this case a white van."
