Maxine Warren: The Universe in Monotype

November 14, 2017 – February 3, 2018

 

This exhibition highlighted the monotype prints of under-recognized Oklahoma modernist Maxine Warren (1927-2014). After completing an art degree at OSU with well-known regionalist Doel Reed, the Ponca City native went on to dedicate her art to abstraction. Warren relied on her intuition, abstract painterly technique, and vivid color palette to ponder universal truths, such as the redemptive power of love and optimism.

 

Along with establishing Maxine Warren’s achievement, this exhibition adds to our understanding of women artists’ contributions to postwar abstraction in the Southwest. Drawn from the OSU Museum of Art collection, Maxine Warren: The Universe in a Monotype, curated by Tiffany Sides, is on view from Nov. 14, 2017, through Feb. 3, 2018.
