Annis Allen
Textured Mixed Media Abstract Landscape

1990

About the Item

Textured abstract landscape achieved through layered materials by Annis Allen (American, 1922-2018). Signed by the artist, lower left: "Annis Allen." Presented in a dark mauve painted wood frame with archival double matting. Image, 19.38"H x 24.25"W. Annis Allen, was born in 1922 to a circuit riding Methodist minister and a music teacher. She came of age in West Texas during the Depression, graduated from Texas Tech when most women did not go to college, married in the middle of World War II, gave birth to her first child with a husband at war, and raised three children in Corpus Christi through the 1950's and 60's. She then embarked on a second career as an avid art student and visual artist that continued to the end of her life. After first educating herself in multiple styles and mediums, Annis focused on collage as her favored path to combine color, texture, form and found objects. During this time, she moved from Texas to the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico which brought vibrant color and humor to her work, followed by a number of years living in an old farm house outside Philadelphia, where her work matured. Annis returned to Texas in 1979 and settled in Austin. By that time, she routinely exhibited her work in multiple states and at annual art shows throughout the Southwest and received awards at juried art shows through the years. Although she stopped exhibiting several before her death, Annis continued to make art even after moving to an assisted living facility in 2016. Annis Allen died March 15, 2018 at the age of 95.
