Hollis Sigler
Hollis Sigler (1948–2001) was a Chicago-based artist whose paintings addressed her life with breast cancer. She died of the disease in 2001, at the age of 53.〔Cotter, Holland, “Hollis Sigler, 53, Painter Whose Theme Was Her Illness”, The New York Times Obituaries, Tuesday, 4/03/01〕 She received degrees from both Moore College of Art and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her mature artistic style was faux-naïve, featuring paintings whose subjects, furniture and clothing set in doll-house type interiors and suburban landscapes, were stand-ins for the implicitly female figure. She was an openly lesbian artist〔Corinne, Tee A., “Chicago Painter Hollis Sigler, 1948-2001”, http://artcataloguing.net/glc/qcan012/qcan012d.html Accessed 11/21/2003〕 and a prominent member of the faculty of Columbia College in Chicago. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1985,〔Cotter, Hooland, "Hollis Sigler, 53, Painter Whose Theme Was Her Illiness, The New York Times, Obituaries, Tuesday, April 3, 2001〕 Sigler’s themes became more personal, confronting ideas about body image, heredity, illness, mortality and hope.〔Fleming, Lee, “Journal of Joy & Sorrow: Hollis Sigler’s Emotion-Drenched ‘Breast Cancer’ Paintings”, Washington Post, Page B1 9/20/93〕
==Early life and education==
Sigler was born Suzanne Hollis Sigler〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nmaa-ryder.si.edu/search/artist_bio.cfm?ID=4450 )〕 in Gary, Indiana to Philip Sigler and Marilyn Ryan Sigler. Her family moved to Cranbury, New Jersey when she was eleven. She completed grade school and high school there, receiving her diploma from Hightstown High School in 1966. Accord to her father, Sigler was interested in art as a child and began painting in elementary school.〔Caponegro, Casha, “Renowned artist succumbs to cancer; Hollis Sigler, former Cranbury resident dead at 53”, Monday, 4/9/2001〕 She went on to study art at Moore College of Art in Philadelphia, where she was awarded the Bachelor of Arts in 1970; she completed graduate studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she received the Master of Fine Arts in 1973.〔Corinne, 2003〕
She had early success with a series of photo realist paintings that depicted underwater swimmers〔 but by 1976, in a gesture meant to repudiate what she considered a male-dominated style, she abandoned realism entirely in favor of a faux-naïve approach. Her subject matter, presented in a way that suggested the work of an untutored or naïve artist, focused on a woman’s world-view. A tendency toward autobiographical content was evident even at the early stages of what would become her signature style.〔 According to the gallery owner Steven Scott, Sigler portrayed "unpeopled room interiors and fanciful landscapes () depict the debris of an incident already climaxed. These scattered objects (along with the provocative handwritten titles appearing on each piece) convey not the cause but the effect of the drama of the departed heroine, whom Sigler acknowledges is her alter-ego."〔Scott, Steven, "Hollis Sigler at Steven Scott Gallery 3/4/93-4/30/93" (exhibition flier with excerpt from Steven Scott's 1988 master's thesis, "The Visual Confessions of Hollis Sigler", Department of Art History, University of Maryland)Steven Scott Gallery, Baltimore, Maryland, 1983〕
Scott also observed that beneath the bright colors and expressionistic strokes of the artist's paintings was Sigler's examination of her fears and feelings of inadequacy, and the anger and hurt she felt in her relationships with her parents and lovers. Her paintings often compensated for these feelings with themes of escape and the fulfilment of desire.〔Scott, 1983〕
