SUMMARY:Noon @ the ‘Spoon Public Tour: <i>Mirror, Mirror: The Prints of Alison Saar</i>
DESCRIPTION:Our 20-minute Noon @ the ‘Spoon tour is a fun way to explore a new exhibition during your lunch break. Offered the second Tuesday of the month. Free and open to the public.\nThis month we will be touring the exhibition Mirror, Mirror: The Prints of Alison Saar from the Collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation ( https://weatherspoonart.org/exhibitions_list/mirror-mirror-the-prints-of-alison-saar-from-the-collections-of-jordan-d-schnitzer-and-his-family-foundation/ ) (on view through February 23, 2020).\nAlison Saar is known not only for her powerful sculptures—she is also a master of the art of printmaking. In both forms, she employs a personal vocabulary informed by history, race, and mythology. Her influences range from ancient Europe, Africa, and American folk art. She is especially drawn to the Kouros, an ancient Greek sculptural form of a man in the diametric pose of stillness and movement.\nSaar’s works narrate stories of the African American experience, moving effortlessly from the personal to the political. In many of her works, she charts the tragic history of slavery in America, but her figures symbolize defiance and strength. Other recurring images are informed by jazz, romance, and desire.\nThrough decades of work, Alison Saar has used the power of art to tell stories, and especially ones that matter.\nThis exhibition has been coordinated for the Weatherspoon Art Museum by Director Nancy Doll and is accompanied by a catalogue.\nSupport for the exhibition has been made possible by a grant from the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation ( http://www.jordanschnitzer.org/ ).\nImage: Alison Saar, Coup de Grâce, lithograph, edition 6/16, 19 1/4 x 25 in. Collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer.\n
