Alexandre

About the Presentation
Alexandre will pair paintings and works on paper by American artists Loren MacIver (1909-98) and Edith Schloss (1919-2011). Both elevated quotidian subjects: MacIver through poetic renderings of moments and objects collected over a lifetime of travel and contemplation, and Schloss in whimsical views and still-lifes that celebrate the ease and joy of summer on the Mediterranean coast. MacIver's Shack (1934) was notably the first painting by a woman represented in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in 1935. Schloss left the New York School in 1962 to settle in Rome, becoming a prolific art critic as well as a painter; her posthumous memoir was published to acclaim in 2021.
