Murray graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1958-1962. She earned her Master of Fine Arts degree from Mills College in 1964.〔(mills.edu Notable Graduates ), Mills College, Mills.edu〕 As a student, she was influenced by painters ranging from Cézanne to Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns.〔Grove Dictionary of Art, Macmillan Publishers, 1996, ISBN 1-884446-00-0〕 In 1967, Murray moved to New York City, and first exhibited in 1971 in the Whitney Museum of American Art Annual Exhibition. One of her first mature works included "''Children Meeting,''" 1978 (now in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum), an oil on canvas painting evoking human characteristics, personalities, or pure feeling through an interaction of non-figurative shapes, colour and lines.〔 She is particularly noted for her shaped canvas paintings.〔Kimmelman, Michael (October 21, 2005) (''New York Times'' "ART REVIEW; Stirring Up a Commotion on Canvas" October 21, 2005 )〕 She was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1998.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amacad.org/publications/BookofMembers/ChapterM.pdf )〕 In 1999, Murray was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship.〔(1999 MacArthur Foundation Awards, infoplease.com )〕 This grant led directly to opening of the Bowery Poetry Club, a Lower East Side performance arts venue run by her husband, Bob Holman.〔Aptowicz, Cristin O'Keefe. (2008). ''Words in Your Face: A Guided Tour Through Twenty Years of the New York City Poetry Slam.'' "CHAPTER 26: What the Heck Is Going On Here; The Bowery Poetry Club Opens (Kinda) for Business." Soft Skull Press. ISBN 1-933368-82-9.〕 In 2006, her 40-year career was honored at New York City's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).〔(Exhibition: Elizabeth Murray, October 23, 2005–January 6, 2006 ), MoMA〕 The retrospective was widely praised, with ''The New York Times'' noting that by the end of the exhibition, "You're left with the sense of an artist in the flush of her authority and still digging deep."〔 , Murray was only one of five female artists to have had a retrospective at the MoMA—the other four are Louise Bourgeois (in 1982), Lee Krasner (in 1984), Helen Frankenthaler (in 1989), and Lee Bontecou (in 2004).〔(''New York Times'' "A Visit With the Modern's First Grandmother" By CAROL KINO. Published: October 2, 2005. )〕 In 2007, Murray died of lung cancer. In her obituary, ''The New York Times'' wrote that Murray "reshaped Modernist abstraction into a high-spirited, cartoon-based, language of form whose subjects included domestic life, relationships and the nature of painting itself..."〔 The Bowery Poetry Club held a Praise Day in her honor on August 30, 2007, with artists Brice Marden and Joel Shapiro, writers Jessica Hagedorn and Patricia Spears Jones, and choreographers Elizabeth Streb and Yoshiko Chuma among the attendees; ''Artforum'' described the event as "a blend of the poignant and the comic that threatened to bring it closer to a ''Saturday Night Live'' skit shredding avant-garde performance practice than an actual art-world remembrance." 〔(Remembering Murray ), ARTFORUM, August 30, 2007.〕 A second private memorial was held at the Museum of Modern Art later that fall. Murray was survived by her husband, Bob Holman, and three children: daughters Sophia Murray Holman and Daisy Murray Holman, and son Dakota Sunseri.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elizabeth Murray (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
