Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor's Journey August 26, 2017 - August 31, 2018
<p><strong>Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor’s Journey</strong></p><p>August 26, 2017 – August, 2018 </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style='font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;'>Drawing from the CRMA’s deep collection of works by 20<sup>th</sup> century sculptor Malvina Hoffman, this two-gallery exhibition explores her lengthy and varied career as a sculptor of the human form. Hoffman studied with several artists in New York before traveling to Paris in 1910 where she successfully convinced Auguste Rodin to accept her as a student. </span><span lang="EN" style='font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN;'>During their lessons, he advised her "Do not be afraid of realism.”<sup> </sup></span><span style='font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;'> It was from Rodin that Hoffman learned a naturalistic, sometimes rugged approach to the form. From her early bust of her father Richard to her famous commission from the Field Museum to create their “Hall of Man,” <em>Malvina Hoffman: A Sculptor’s Journey</em> traces Hoffman’s artistic roots from her teenage creations through apprenticeship with Rodin and into her arrival as an independent and gifted artist.</span></p><p><br></p>
