The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) is proud to present a new book on the life and legacy of American artist Amalie Rothschild (1916-2001) who, during her six-and-a-half decade career, made significant contributions to the city of Baltimore and the mid-Atlantic region where she lived and worked. Rothschild traveled a complex path in her career, one that was personal, regional, and at times national and international. Her work is in numerous museum, corporate and private collections including the Corcoran Gallery of Art, The Philips Collection, the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, the Baltimore Museum of Art, The Walters Art Museum, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Art Collection, among many others. Best known as a painter and sculptor who constantly experimented with materials and methods, Rothschild's oeuvre encompasses the dramatic range of style, media, and message that characterized the questing spirit of the best of 20th-century art. Her work also explores the challenges faced by a creative woman in an era of major social change. As book contributor Nancy G. Heller observes: “Amalie Rosenfeld Rothschild appeared on the American art scene at a challenging time. She was a woman, when artists were supposed to be male; she was American, at a time when important art was still expected to come from Europe; and she lived in Baltimore—which, while hardly a cultural backwater, was not New York City, then regarded as the center of art in the U.S…Over the course of six and a half decades she managed to surmount traditional prejudices—about the abilities, rights, and obligations of American women; about commercial vs. fine art; about artists who constantly explore new ways to express themselves; about people who live outside New York City; and about the validity of supposedly-serious art that also dares to be funny.” Professor Heller will be delivering a paper about Rothschild at this year's annual Feminist Art History Conference at American University, November 9–10.
