Description
Cynthia Brants (1924-2006) was associated with the Fort Worth Circle, a group of artists who were active in the mid-20th century. As the title of this exhibition suggests, she moved "beyond the Circle" as she continued to work for fifty years more.
Her career included 70 years of experience as a painter and printmaker. She also worked in metal casting, jewelry, model-making, theatrical design, and experimentation in adapting commercial gravure techniques. Her participation in the New School for Social Research in New York City offered the opportunity to study under Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17 while she was a student at Sarah Lawrence College. While there, she worked alongside such noted artists as Marc Chagall and Jacques Lipchitz
This exhibition in its entirety was curated by Margaret Blagg, executive director of the Old Jail Art Center in Albany, Texas and presented there during the fall of 2007. The show comprised paintings that remained in Brants' possession when she died. The work spans each decade of her career and so makes a type of retrospective look at her entire body of work. Selected works from that venue are included in this exhibition.
