A gifted painter, writer and illustrator in her own right, Dahlov Ipcar (1917–2017) made this “memory portrait” of her mother 22 years after her death in 1968. Zorach is shown at work on an actual embroidery that she made in 1944 — also on view in the exhibition at the Farnsworth — picturing Ipcar and her young family in the kitchen of their Georgetown, Maine, home. [https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/marguerite-zorach-an-art-filled-life/] Ipcar never never studied art or illustration formally: I was surrounded by art and I just naturally did it,” she says. “[My son] Charlie says I’m my parents’ great experiment. They went to proper art schools, both of them. And then when the Modern Art movement came along, they said they had to unlearn everything they learned. They wanted to see what would happen if they left a child alone to go her own way. How proud would they be to know she made art for almost a century? [http://tumblr.austinkleon.com/post/163494856861]
