Provenance: This artwork comes directly from the Estate of the Artist, Gwendolyn Meux. About Gwendolyn Dufill Meux: Gwendolyn Meux was a prolific Canadian-American artist, educator, and member of the Boulder, Colorado art community. She studied at prestigious institutions such as Mount Allison University, the Art Students League in New York, and Provincetown's Charles Hawthorne School. Meux’s career spanned several decades, during which she became an influential figure in the Western art scene, especially in Boulder, where she was an active member of the Boulder Artists Guild and The Prospectors, a collaborative group of artists inspired by the region’s unique landscapes. Artistic Style & Legacy: Meux's work, inspired by the natural beauty of the Colorado landscape, exemplifies the modernist movement. Known for her vibrant use of color and dynamic compositions, she created pieces that reflect both the energy of her surroundings and her deep connection to the land. "Dawn of the Tigris" embodies her signature style, blending abstract forms with a powerful emotional resonance. In addition to her artistic achievements, Meux was involved in local arts organizations, including the University Faculty Women’s Club and the Artists Equity Association. Her work was widely exhibited throughout the United States and beyond, including solo shows at institutions like the Dallas Museum of Art and the University of Colorado Art Museum. Meux’s artwork is held in prestigious collections such as the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma, the Spencer Museum of Art in Kansas, and History Colorado, among others. Perfect for collectors of mid-century modern and abstract art, "Dawn of the Tigris" is a timeless representation of Gwendolyn Meux’s artistic vision and enduring legacy.
