Location: Frances M. Maguire Hall, located at 9001 Germantown Avenue
Led by Woodmere Docent, Paula Suss, enjoy exploring and discussing Frank Bramblett's expansive, mirrored double portrait of Marcel Duchamp and Helen Keller.
Raised in Wedowee, Alabama, Bramblett received his BFA from the University of Georgia and his MFA from Yale University. He worked as a professor of art in the Painting and Drawing department at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art for almost forty years, helping build the school as we know it today. Over the course of his career, he experimented with unorthodox materials and transformations caused by water, wind, temperature change, and motion to create a body of work that is visually and conceptually diverse. Bramblett received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage. His work has been shown in Philadelphia—including at Woodmere—and at some of New York’s most prestigious galleries.
