| Resumen: |
Blue Moons & Menageries presents a wide array of paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures by one of Maine's best-known artists, Dahlov Ipcar. Born in Windsor, Vermont on November 12, 1917 to Marguerite and William Zorach-themselves prominent Modern artists-Ipcar maintained a prolific career as an artist until her death, at the age of 99, on February 10, 2017. Throughout her long life, she produced thousands of paintings, drawings, woodcuts, lithographs, and textile sculptures, some of which are presented publicly for the first time in this exhibition. Ipcar showed her works regularly, with numerous solo and group exhibitions to her credit. She also produced eleven murals in public schools, post offices, hospitals, and libraries, and her works were featured in the Art in Embassies program of the US State Department. Among her many awards, Ipcar received honorary degrees from Bates College, Colby College, and University of Maine; the Kerlan Award for Children's Literature from University of Minnesota; the Farnsworth Museum's Maine in America Award; and, with her husband, Adolph, she received the Maine State Award from the Maine Arts Commission. Blue Moons & Menageries is Ipcar's fourth and largest solo exhibition at the Bates College Museum of Art, and it is the largest exhibition focused on a single artist the museum has organized. |
