Jennie Lea Knight: Women of Jefferson Place Gallery<\/h3>\n

Exhibition Dates:<\/strong> January 17 – March 7, 2020<\/p>\n

Curated by John Anderson, Meaghan Kent and Caitlin Berry<\/b><\/p>\n

Cody Gallery at Marymount University is pleased to present an exhibition of work by Jennie Lea Knight (b. Washington, D.C. 1933; d. Washington, D.C. 2007). This exhibition will run from January 17 to March 7, 2020 and will open with a reception on Friday, January 17 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. This exhibition includes a minimalist grouping of sculpture.<\/p>\n

\nJennie Lea Knight co-founded The Studio Gallery, then located in Alexandria, VA, with her mother in 1956. By 1964, a year after the death of her mother, Knight joined the artists at the Jefferson Place Gallery, then under the direction of Nesta Dorrance, where she frequently exhibited in solo and group shows until the gallery\u2019s closing in 1974.<\/p>\n

The Cody Gallery will present a body of sculpture by Jennie Lea Knight that is best described as minimal in form, but not in process. At times stretching up to 9 feet in length, these wood sculptures show a mastery of precision in joinery and shaping coupled with a fastidiousness of craft.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jennie Lea Knight was born in Washington, D.C. in 1933 and passed away in 2007. She received her art training in design and music at the King-Smith School of Creative Arts and later graduated from the Institute of Contemporary Arts in 1951, where she studied painting with Kenneth Noland. By 1964, Knight worked almost entirely in sculpture, working occasionally on paper and canvas. Knight\u2019s work can be found in many private collections and public institutions including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is the third in the series \u201cWomen of Jefferson Place Gallery\u201d and has been organized by John Anderson, Caitlin Berry, Director of Cody Gallery, and Meaghan Kent, Curator of Exhibitions, Art and Culture Center\/Hollywood, Florida.
