Wienholt drawings
Anne Wienholt, a mid twentieth century woman artist, was concerned with capturing “the curious, strange and wonderful.”
​
Leaving Australia to study art in New York City during WWII, she soon broke with social convention by marrying a Japanese American artist and pursuing a serious art career while raising 3 daughters.
​
Wienholt’s work, which spans 8 decades, showcases her capacious spirit and mastery over form. In her words: “Art is a hunt. The clues are marks on paper, shapes in metal. The quarry one self. ”
The artist's daughter writes about growing up with a mom whose art was her life.
Daughters honor late mom with retrospective exhibit of her artworks
