Alice as Artist

In 1928, Alice D.C. Livingston submitted a smattering of sculptures to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts’ annual exhibition. Included was an enigmatic bronze depicting a draped female figure, hands held aloft in exaltation or prayer. Recent research has uncovered a review featuring this bronze figure in a 1928 edition of Revue du Vrai et du Beau. Although relatively short, this is the only published piece we have been able to find on Alice’s work and her exhibition history as an artist. In celebration of women’s history month, join us for a presentation featuring this newly unearthed primary source as well as a broader discussion on the art Alice produced as a self-taught sculptor.
