Featuring approximately 40 modernist works from private and public collections, Mary Tuthill Lindheim: Kindred Responses to Life surveys Lindheim’s life and work in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Lindheim (1912 – 2004) studied sculpture with artists Alexander Archipenko and Isamu Noguchi in the 1930s, and pottery with Antonio Prieto in the 1940s. She went on to win prizes for her own pottery at regional and national craft shows. Disregarding preconceived distinctions between fine art and craft, Lindheim explored clay as an artistic medium and vital means of self-expression. The exhibition features her pottery, figurative sculpture, and studio jewelry. Through a series of thematic installations loosely inspired by the artist’s guiding beliefs in nature, emotion, beauty, and social justice, the works on display make connections between her artistic practice and compassionate approach to life.
