COLLAGE AS NEEDLEPOINT
Saturday, May 09, 2009
Artist, Anne Ryan [1889 – 1954] was part of the
New York School of Abstract Expressionist artists.
Her career began after leaving a marriage in 1923, for life as a poet and journalist in Europe. Upon her return in 1938, Anne settled in New York and began painting and printmaking.
When she was 57, she was introduced to the collages of Kurt Schwitters, and from that point on, collage became her passion. As a poet, Anne discovered that through collage, she could create visual interpretations of her sonnets. She went on to develop over 400 collages in her Greenwich Village studio before her death in 1954. Though scarce, the collages Anne produced in the last six years of her life are rich examples of postwar New York modernism, and their textural quality translates beautifully onto needlepoint canvases.
