- Description
- This detailed view shows the construction of Bonnie Bronson's red square piece. The steel depiected are in its original color. The identity of the person depicted is unkown. Bonnie Bronson; 1984; SOSC Ashland OR; McNeil Pavilion; work in progess Bonnie Bronson was born in 1940 in Portland Oregon. She attended the University of Kansas, the University of Oregon and, from 1959 to 1961, studied at the Museum Art School (now the Pacific Northwest College of Art). More than most artists, Bronson resisted labels and did not want to be associated with one style, technique or medium. although she painted, she was not simply a painter. Her tapestry designs notwithstanding, she could not be classified as a textile artist. And, while she is best known for her public commissions, many of which are large sculptures, sculpture is not the backbone of her work. A brilliant colorist, Bronson often left her metal surfaces unpainted or used monochromatic finishes. The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information. The Council for this location is: Arts Council of Southern Oregon.
