Anna Walinska: The Spirit of a Search without Boundaries
Anna Walinska’s life and art spans the march of American modernism into the 20th Century. Her story pairs the history of the New York school of art with the American Jewish experience. A prolific artist of both figurative and abstract paintings, she created more than 2000 works on canvas and paper over the course of her lifetime. Although relatively unknown today, Anna Walinska’s joie de vivre and remarkable body of work are worth recognizing and celebrating.
