Uncovering Alice Rahon

OCTOBER 1-NOVEMBER 5, 2022

Gallery Wendi Norris

San Francisco, CA 94111

The subject of renewed interest from museums and scholars in recent years, Alice Rahon (1904-1987) was a Surrealist poet in her native France and then took up painting in Mexico, where she was invited by Frida Kahlo in 1939 and eventually became a citizen. Not surprisingly, language informed her art, as did her fascination with indigenous cultures, prehistoric cave paintings, and the natural environment; her work incorporates sand, crushed volcanic stone, feathers, and butterfly wings. Uncovering Alice Rahon is the artist’s first solo gallery exhibition in decades.
