Mary Nohl: Smaller Works

April 1 – May 31, 2005

Mary Nohl (1914-2001) did not label herself artist or craftsman, but enjoyed the process of “arts activities.” She may be seen as sculptor, painter, jeweler, illustrator, writer–but especially, builder. Mary’s greatest body of work became the unified whole of her home, informed by her familiar surroundings and by the world at large. Although she is best known for her sculpture-filled yard surrounding her cottage decorated with wood cutouts in Fox Point, Wisconsin, this display presents a glimpse beyond, into the interior realm of her lesser-known jewelry, ceramics, wire sculpture and drawings. The exhibit ranfrom April 1-May 31, 2005 at the Kohler Art Library.
