Kolomon Sokol: The Human Spirit |
|
|
|
TUCSON, AZ.- The Museum of Art at the University of Arizona presents "Kolomon Sokol: The Human Spirit." Kolomon Sokol (1902-2003) celebrated his 100th birthday in Tucson last December. His regrettable death just a few months later served as a reminder that we had living among us in southern Arizona a modern artist of substantial international importance. Perhaps not well-known among the art communities of Arizona, Sokol’s contributions to the development of modernism, especially in printmaking, in his native Czechoslovakia and in Mexico provide for a legendary career. Beginning in the 1920s, Sokol regularly contributed his unique and humanistic vision to the galleries and museums of Europe, United States and Mexico. In 1937, invited by the Government of Mexico to teach etching, lithography and woodcut, Sokol’s exhibited at Bellas Artes in Mexico City and served as professor of Graphic Arts at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas of the National University of Mexico. His artistic exploits during the next sixty years sustained his already distinguished life. In 1954 his work received the Pennell Purchase award from the Library of Congress and on the occasion of his 60th and 85th birthdays he had large one-person exhibitions in Czechoslovakia. Presently there is a museum in the Republic of Slovakia devoted to his work. An illustrated catalog will be available.
