Marie Berger: A Texas painter and printmaker,
Marie Berger studied at Texas Christian University, the St. Louis School
of Fine Art and at Washington University, Missouri. During her successful
career, she exhibited internationally at such institutions as the Bateau
Lavar Gallery, Rome, the Rassagna permanente d'arte contemporanea, Veterbo,

Marie Berger was a full member of the Texas Fine Arts Association
(Regional Director) and the Texas Watercolor Society. Among the awards
presented to her for her art were the Benedictine Award, New York, and
the Texas Fine Arts Jurors Award. She also owned and managed the Marie
Berger Gallery, Fort Worth, which promoted the works of many rising American
and Mexican artists during the 1950's and 1960's. |
|
Among other things, Marie Berger's art is notable for its surrealist
elements. In Still Life with Figure in a Desert Landscape, for
example, she combines the seemingly incongruous images of a foreground
still life composition with the almost infinite lines of perspective of
the desert environment. The final result is one of provoking imagery and
emotion. |
