COMING SOON | Jacqueline Lamba - Painter
MARCH 11 - APRIL 22, 2023Weinstein Gallery begins its 30th-anniversary celebration with the inaugural exhibition, Jacqueline Lamba - Painter, a retrospective featuring over forty paintings and works on paper created from 1927 - 1986. This exhibition marks Lamba's first gallery exhibition in the United States in seventy-four years.
Lamba refused to be relegated to the role of muse or confined by traditional expectations of wife or mother. Her need to paint was insatiable, and recognition of that need was her only desire. Independent, outspoken, and headstrong, she sometimes got in her own way of what she sought. In her final years, she lived a solitary, monastic life working on her art every day until she could no longer hold a pencil. She once wrote to a friend, "If you hear I am no longer painting, it is because I have died."
In the current tidal wave of attention on women artists, particularly those involved with Surrealism, Lamba is being reconsidered in the canon for her importance and contributions with inclusion in several recent museum exhibitions, including In Wonderland -The Surrealist Adventures of Artists in Mexico and the United States at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Fantastic Women. Surreal Worlds from Meret Oppenheim to Frida Kahlo at the Schirn Kunsthalle, and currently in Enchanted Modernity: Surrealism and Magic at the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, Venice, and the Museum Barberini, Potsdam. Additionally, the first monograph on the artist, published by the gallery and written by respected scholar Dr. Salomon Grimberg, will be released later this year. -
