Tranquil Power: The Art of Perle Fine
Special Exhibitions Gallery, Judi and Milt Stewart Hexagon Gallery
Continuing through May 27, 2012
The career of Perle Fine (1905–1988), one of the few women artists in the inner circle of the Abstract Expressionists, is traced through this selection of paintings, prints, drawings, and wood assemblages dating from the 1930s to the 1970s. A selection of photographs by Fine’s husband, the photographer Maurice Berezov, depicting Fine and her artist friends also will be on view in the Stewart Hexagon Gallery.
Tranquil Power: The Art of Perle Fine was organized by Perle Fine Retrospective, Inc., Nashville, Tennessee, and the Hofstra University Museum, Hempstead, New York, with assistance by Susan W. Knowles, Curator. The Exhibition has received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, The New York State Council on the Arts, the Judith Rothschild Foundation, the Renate, Hans and Maria Hofmann Trust, and the Kanter Family Foundation. Support for the exhibition in Bloomington was provided by the Class of 1958 Endowment for the Curator of Western Art after 1800 and the Indiana University Art Museum’s Arc Fund.
