Excellent- More about Alice Mackler
Alice Mackler is a well-known American ceramicist who has been creating joyful and original work for nearly 80 years. Her vibrant, voluptuous ceramic sculptures evoke the Venus of Willendorf and versions of the female form by Willem de Kooning, Gaston Lachaise, and Niki de Saint Phalle. Her paintings are influenced by Paul Klee, Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, and Saul Steinberg, and her drawings call to mind Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, and Saul Steinberg. Mackler's visibility resists the seemingly inevitable invisibility that befalls ageing women.

Alice Mackler, a beloved American ceramicist, has been creating joyful and original work for nearly 80 years. Born in 1931 and residing in New York, Mackler continues to push forward her art as well as the boundaries of contemporary art across sculpture, painting, drawing, and collage. While long beloved and admired by artists, Mackler has recently found the wide and enthusiastic audience she deserves.
With a focus on the female figure, Mackler's work is a visceral accumulation of her experiences translated into a material form. Her vibrant, voluptuous ceramic sculptures evoke the Venus of Willendorf as well as versions of the female form by Willem de Kooning, Gaston Lachaise, and Niki de Saint Phalle. At the same time, her work is in dialogue with contemporary ceramicists such as Ruby Neri, Magdalena Suarez Frimkess, and Betty Woodman.
The artist cites Paul Klee as an influence on her paintings, which feel rooted in modernism; her drawings call to mind Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, and Saul Steinberg. While these influences and references are telling, this comprehensive overview makes clear that Mackler's vision is genuinely her own. As Kelly Taxter writes in the book's central essay, "Mackler's visibility resists the seemingly inevitable invisibility that befalls ageing women."
Now approaching the beginning of her ninth decade, Alice Mackler and her art continue to be as vital, urgent, and current as ever.
