MILDRED ZINDLER RETROSPECITIVE EXHIBITION
1953-2003
The campus is invited to a reception for an important exhibition at Towson University, University Union Gallery, on Friday, February 6, from 7-9 p.m. of the work of artist and TU Professor Emeritus, Mildred Zindler (1956-86) The show will remain up until February 28, 2004. Susan Isaacs of the Art Department organized the exhibition and both the artist and the curator will be at the reception.
This retrospective exhibition demonstrates the artist?s belief in the fundamental importance of the human figure as both a subject and as a means to experimentation with form and material. If you talk to Mildred’s students they will tell you that she demanded excellence of them and that she was very interested in teaching them strong foundation skills: how to draw, an understanding of form and how to be a serious artist. One of her key interests, both in teaching and in her own work, has been the human figure.
Zindler holds a number of academic degrees, including an A.B. from Florida State University (1945) and both an M.A. in Fine Arts (1956) and an Ed.D. in Fine Arts and Fine Arts Education (1959) from Columbia University in New York. As early as 1942, she studied with sculptor Marius Voss in New York City. She later studied with sculptor Heinz Warneke at the Corcoran Gallery Art School in Washington, D.C. from whom Zindler found much inspiration for her own interest in the human figure. She also studied at the Royal Academy in Brussels from 1950-51. At various times she has been included in Who?s Who in American Women, Art in America Today, and Women Artists in America. Her work has been exhibited both regionally and nationally and she continues to be an active artist with a studio in Baltimore.
