About the Artist | Born 1932 "Though she majored in art as an undergraduate, it was not until Lylanne Malamed was a graduate student at the University of Iowa that she really began to paint life as she saw it---and for many years with emphasis on the elderly. Many of Malamed's most powerful paintings represent widows dealing with pain or loneliness, for although their numbers have increased, senior citizens remain marginalized. Her liberal use of 23k gold leaf as background serves not only to separate the figures one from the other but emphasizes the wisdom and dignity of the elderly." taken from the artist's website Recently (June 8-30, 2024) Malamed's paintings were exhibited at Morpeth Contemporary, an art gallery located in Hopewell, New Jersey. |
