Cecile Gray Bazelon

Cecile Gray Bazelon (born September 25, 1927, Cleveland, Ohio) is an American painter living in New York City. Bazelon is best known for her perspectives of unpeopled New York cityscapes, and her depictions of interior spaces framed in geometric patterns.[1][2][3]

Biography

Bazelon graduated from Syracuse University, in 1949, and was awarded the Graduate Fellowship in Painting.[4] In 1953, she moved to New York City, where she met, and subsequently married, the late American composer Irwin Bazelon [1922–1995] in 1960. Her early work focused on landscapes that include architectural elements and interiors.[5][6][7][8] Bazelon often set these scenes against intensely patterned decorative borders—a stylistic device that became an integral part of her work.[9][10] In 1969, Bazelon received a fellowship at the renowned Yaddo artists’ colony in Saratoga Springs, NY. Several years later, the artist held her first solo exhibition in New York City at the Robert Schoelkopf Gallery in 1971.[11] Over the next few decades, Bazelon would be the subject of numerous one-person shows and group exhibitions held at The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; and the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, The Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Design, New York, among others. Her work resides in numerous collections internationally.[12]
