Art of Margaret Zeitlin

Margaret Zeitlin is arguably the best little known artist in the Hudson Valley. Zeitlins work has been exhibited in national and regional shows and received first prizes from the Beaux Arts Finale of Westchester, the Ossining Council of the Arts, the Ventura Arts Fair, and the Putnam Arts Council. Among the venues showing her work have been the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Santa Barbara Museum, the Beaumaris Museum in Wales, the Northern Westchester Council of the Arts, The Hammond Museum, the Katonah Museum of Art, the Putnam Arts Council, the Carriage Barn Art Center in New Canaan, and the Silvermine Guild Arts Center. Her works have been juried into shows by curators from the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim Museum. Her works also hang in several private collections. In recent years she pioneered a new form of collage, laminating intricate filigrees of paper on mounted art canvas to create a textured, almost three dimensional surface. These boldly colored collages are up to 16 square feet in area. "They are virtual explosions of color and texture and definitely not to be missed, wrote one major newspaper art critic after viewing Margaret Zeitlin's one woman show at the Putnam Arts Council. The art

critic went on to compare the collages to looking at a sunset through a Persian screen. The art works in this file are extracted from the book Art of Margaret Zeitin published by Blurb Inc. 2007
