Making It New: the Art and Style of Sara and Gerald Murphy
Tuesday September 9, 2008 from 11:00am - 5:00pm
Dallas Museum of Art
1717 N Harwood St
Dallas, Texas 75201 Get Directions
This exhibition explores the extraordinary lives of Sara and Gerald Murphy and the couple's influence on a remarkable constellation of creative artists that flourished in Paris and the Riviera in the 1920s and 1930s. Friends of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, Cole Porter, Dorothy Parker, Alfred Hitchcock, and Fernand Leger, the Murphys strove to make something fine and beautiful of their lives through "living well", creating art, and encouraging artist and writer friends. The result was some of the most noteworthy literature, music, theater, and art of the last century. Often portrayed simply as wealthy patrons, the Murphys in fact improvised their own brand of unconventional modernism that was a source of inspiration to their many talented friends.
