Patricia Stanley Cunningham Art

1907-1984

Patricia Stanley Cunningham first studied at the University of California, Berkeley and subsequently, under Hans Hofmann in Munich and with André Lhote in Paris. While in Paris in 1930, she married a classmate from UC, John Cunningham. Settling on the Monterey Peninsula after returning from Europe, Cunningham joined the Carmel Art Institute, the Southwest Artists and the Society of Western Artists. She was the first woman to serve as president of the Carmel Art Association. Cunningham was both a teacher at Mills College in Oakland and the University of California, Berkeley as well as a muralist and easel painter for the WPA Federal Art Project. In 1959, the Cunninghams founded the local chapter of the American Federation of Arts, which became the Museum of Monterey. Cunningham exhibited widely and with success, including at the “1940 Golden Gate International Exposition”, Gump's Gallery (San Francisco), Salt Lake City Museum, Carmel Art Association and Portland Art Museum (Oregon) among others. Her work can be found in collections throughout the country, including the Smithsonian, the Museum of Monterey, Art Institute of Chicago and the Spencer Museum of Art.

La Mujer Isla Surrealist Painting
By Enrique Chavarría
Located in Lake Worth Beach, FL
The Island Woman (La Mujer Isla) Artist signed and titled. Enrique Chavarría (1927-1998) was a Mexican painter and neo-surrealist, whose fantastic imagery carries forward the work of the Mexican Surrealists. He created hundreds of easel-sized oil paintings on masonite and numerous smaller works. For four decades his principal patron was Bryna Prensky, an American gallery owner from Florida who moved to Mexico City in 1954. She bought most of Chavarría’s known works for her gallery and her own collection. Prensky said she often found Chavarría in his pajamas at mid-day. He read widely and painted dreamlike images that reflect his wide-ranging scholarly interests. Much of his work is thought to have been inspired by poetry, especially the writings of André Breton, Paul Éluard, Arthur Rimbaud, and Paul Valéry; by the classic surrealism of Salvador Dalí; and by the paintings of Mexican neo-surrealist artists Remedios Varo...
