About the Item
A whimsical gouache painting by American female surrealist Martha Visser't Hooft depicting a butterfly in a patriotic color scheme.
Martha Visser't Hooft was born in Buffalo in 1906, and developed her passion for art in Paris and New York City in the 1920s and 1930s. Her early work, particularly that of the 1940s, was indebted to the formulations of Surrealism.
During the 1950s she established a career as a painter in New York City as well as in Buffalo. Her paintings of this period reflected the sense of Abstract Expressionism without being limited to its forms. She was an energetic and innovative painter in the artistic world of Western New York State. Her paintings were influenced not only by what she had seen and experienced in Europe but also by the geography of the American Southwest.
Her work was exhibited at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington, and many other venues. There have been retrospectives of her work at the Burchfield-Penney Art Center here in Buffalo; it has also been exhibited at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and other area venues.
