Hosted by the Southeast Chapter
Allyn Cox's artistic output was great and varied; stylistically he could produce works akin to that of the Italian Baroque, Exotic Chinoiseries, pre-WWII WPA murals, and beyond.
His work can be found across the world in places such as memorial libraries, intimate dining rooms, state capitols, veteran cemeteries, masonic lodges, private clubs, museums, grand and not-so-grand homes including the May Patterson Goodrum House and Calhoun House in Atlanta, Grant's tomb, the US Capitol, and even altarpieces destined for battleships and army posts. The last 30 years of his life were spent painting the Congressional corridors and completing the rotunda frieze in the United States Capitol.
This lecture will examine the wide breadth of Mr. Cox's work and explore his technique for producing murals and paintings.
Drawings, paintings, certificates, and personal mementos of both his and his parents will be on display. Many of these items have only been viewed in private settings.
This lecture is made possible by the generosity of the Shutze Fellows, past recipients of the Philip Trammell Shutze Award, that donate to the Shutze Fellows Scholarship Fund of ICAA Southeast.
