Discovery workshop on the exhibition Marisol: A Retrospective
Enigmatic, innovative and bold, Marisol (1930-2016) was a leading figure in the arts of her generation, known for her striking life-size figures consisting of assemblages combining wood with drawing, painting and found objects. An astute observer of her era, she proposed a reinterpretation that was sometimes humorous and satirical, but always with lucidity and with great sensitivity.
