About the Item

Nationally recognized Virginia artist Conway Thompson obtained her Master's Degree in sculpture from The Instituto Allende in Mexico after her studies at Mary Washington College (Fredericksburg, Virginia), Art Students League (New York, New York) and in 1950 at Cooper Union School of Art in New York City. In the essay "Conway Thompson: A Retrospective" at Longwood Center for the Visual Arts, writer Cassandra Cossitt states, "Conway Thompson's journey as an artist is marked by a number of turning points: The kindness of Louise Nevelson and David Smith, both on the verge of international fame, recognized Thompson as a serious artist and offered encouragement and support." Thompson's first public recognition came after receiving The Virginia Museum Fellowship for Professional Artists. In the early 1960s Thompson returned to Virginia and in 1963 became the first director of the Hand Workshop (Visual Arts Center of Richmond). She managed the center from 1964-1968 and many consider her contribution to that organization one of her crowning achievements. In 1968 she traveled to Europe and returned to creating marble sculpture. "Her work explores earth and womanhood." As a sculptor she worked in wood, stone and metal and she later taught at the University of Richmond, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and Longwood College in 1971. The influences of her mentors; sculptors Henry Moore, Jacques Lipchitz, David Smith and Louise Nevelson is evident in her work, but she has created a style rooted in an agarian heritage that is uniquely her own. The reclining bronze sculpture "Aphrodite Series #4" reflects this aesthetic. Conway Thompson's work is in many prestigious corporate and private collections among them Bank of America (Richmond, Virginia), Federal Reserve Bank (Richmond, Virginia), Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (Richmond, Virginia), Randolph Macon College (Ashland, Virginia) and Longwood University (Farmville, Virginia).
