"Men Seldom Make Passes" is a 1985 work by artist Alexis Smith. It will be on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego Sept. 15, 2022 through Jan. 29, 2023.This weekend, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego's La Jolla campus opens a new exhibition that chronicles the long career of Los Angeles artist Alexis Smith.
"This is the first exhibition to present the full extent of her work since she had a mid-career survey in 1991, which was organized by the Whitney Museum in New York," Graham said."There's a lot that people haven't seen, for sure. And in a lot of ways, there's also a whole generation of viewers who might not be as familiar with her work and certainly didn't see her shows in the '80s and '90s.
Many of the works in"The American Way" are collages — some detailed multi-sheet works on paper, and some large, striking wall murals with appropriated elements. Smith worked often in collage, but resisted categorization, whether in form or style. Another strikingly detailed work is"Isadora," a mixed-media collage set atop a painted mural that takes a fragmented look at the tragic life and death of dancer Isadora Duncan."Isadora" is a 1980-81 mixed media collage and mural work by Alexis Smith, and is on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego beginning Sept. 15, 2022.
