Margaret Lazzari's artwork has engaged a wide range of subjects in both realistic and abstract styles, including bodies[1][2], beauty[3], gender[4], power[5][6][7] [8], censorship[9], illness[10][11][12] and death[13]. She has also produced pure abstractions[14] and nature-based landscape works[15]. Lazzari primarily paints, but has also produced audio-visual installations[16], and public sculptures[17], sometimes partnering with Lauren Evans.[18]

Margaret Lazzari is an American artist, educator, and author, based primarily in Los Angeles, California.[19] She is Professor Emerita of Fine Arts at the University of Southern California, Roski School of Art and Design. [20] Lazzari received her Master of Fine Arts from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.

Career

[edit]

Exhibitions

[edit]

Lazzari has had many solo exhibitions of her work including those at the Billis Williams Gallery[21][22], Los Angeles, at the Fresno Art Museum[23][24], Riverside Art Museum[25][26], and USC Fisher Museum of Art. As half of the Lazzari Evans Public Art design team, she has produced several public commissions, with themes that make evident the persistence of nature in urban environments.

Collections

[edit]

Lazzari's works are in many public collections, including those of Angell Foundation, Los Angeles, USC Fisher Museum of Art, Fresno Art Museum, Cathedral Collection of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles[27], Kaiser Permanente Hospitals, Azusa Pacific University, Harrah's Casino, New Jersey, the St. Louis University Museum of Art, and Huntsville Museum of Art, Alabama[28].

Publications

[edit]

In addition to numerous magazine art reviews, Lazzari has authored or co-authored several popular art textbooks, including: Exploring Art: a Global, Thematic Approach[29]; The Practical Handbook for the Emerging Artist; Drawing; Life Drawing; and Art and Design Fundamentals.[18] In contrast to traditional Art Appreciation texts, Exploring Art pioneered an innovative thematic, rather than chronological, structure and much greater inclusion of non-Western art.

Awards and honors

[edit]

Lazzari's honors and awards for her work include a Visual Artist Fellowship[30] from the National Endowment for the Arts, 1995, and Distinguished Woman Artist, 2015, Fresno Art Museum Council of 100.[24]

The University of Southern California awarded her with a faculty lifetime achievement award.[when?][31]
