Her Story: Margo Humphrey Lithographs and Works on Paper

September 8-December 5, 2010

   

Margo Humphrey, The History of Her Life Written Across Her Face, 1991. Lithograph 30 x 29.5 in. © Margo Humphrey 2009 

Her Story highlights five decades of work by artist and printmaker Margo Humphrey. Bold and saturated color, animated figures, and syncopated rhythmic arrangements are hallmarks of Humphrey’s oeuvre. Joyful, expressive and at times humorous, Humphrey’s works offer artful commentary on American culture, including food ways, folkways, spirituality, love and loss. Though Humphrey labels her distinctive style “sophisticated naive,” the narrative complexity and technical skill of her works attest to her artistic acuity.
