Organized by SJMA, Jean Conner: Collage is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition and brings long-overdue recognition to her extraordinary and fanciful collages. Primarily made from images cut out of such large-format color magazines as Life and Ladies’ Home Journal, Conner’s vivid, pictorial worlds feature playful arrangements of animals, nature, religious symbolism, aquatic environments, food, women, dancers, and divers.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
San José Museum of Art hosts Jean Conner’s first solo museum exhibition in Jean Conner: Collage. The exhibition brings together six decades of the artists tantalizing collages. Sourced from catalogues and magazines, these crafty found assemblages speak through a combinatory language of colors and shapes. Enjoy the strange and uncanny images from over half a century, on display through September 25th at SJMA.
