Susan Ricker Knox Exhibit
Art Reception & Talk
Tuesday, January 14, 4:45 – 6:45 PM
Works by Susan Ricker Knox (1874-1959) will be on exhibit on the main level of the York Public Library January – March. This is a Community Collects Exhibit with pieces from the collections of many individuals and institutions brought together just for this exhibition. Susan Ricker Knox was born in Portsmouth but maintained a lifelong connection with York. She began summering in York as early as 1893 and, after attending art schools in Philadelphia and New York, returned to build her arts and crafts cottage and studio in York Harbor where she and her widowed mother spent half of every year for more than thirty years. She was known originally as a portraitist of mothers and children, but after 1922 her work took a major turn that made Knox one of the most famous women artists in the country. She painted immigrants coming into the country at Ellis Island and later painted Native Americans and people of Mexico and Central America. Historian, Richard Candee will speak about Knox and her work. Refreshments will be available. All are welcome.
