1984

About the Item

"Breakfast in Merida (Homage to Carmen Miranda)" is an original woven wool tapestry with velvet fruit by Joan Ward Summers. It is a decorative tableau which displays a background pattern of blue and yellow abstract shapes. The tapestry also depicts a breakfast table, laden with cutlery and dishware, and it stands before what appears to be an open window looking out onto the sunrise. Hanging from the bottom of the tapestry are seventeen pieces of velvet fruit--the homage to Carmen Miranda. the work's bold patterning and unmodulated primary colors recall the work of Henri Matisse. 72" x 50" tapestry Joan Ward-Summers April 18, 1934-1998 Born Akron, Ohio Education: 1962-63 San Francisco Art Institute 1975 Haystack School of Crafts-Deer Island, Maine 1955-56 Rhode Island School of Design 1953-57 Cleveland Institute of Art One-Person Exhibitions: 1988- present David Barnett Gallery- Milwaukee, WI 1986 Rubiner Gallery- Detroit, Michigan Editions Limited Gallery- Indianapolis, IN Pacific Grove Art Center- Pacific Grove, Calif.
