ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Margaret Lazzari is a painter, writer, and Professor Emerita of Art at the University of Southern California’s Roski School of Art and Design.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:

Created between 2003 and 2004, Margaret Lazzari: The Cancer Series documents the physical and psychological fallout—and recovery—of the artist’s experience with breast cancer. Consisting of over thirty paintings, drawings, and videos, these works are an intimate and emotional look at the link between our bodies and our sense of self; the trauma experienced when this connection is altered; and the steps taken to reestablish this connection. Lazzari’s work maps the extreme emotions and energy swings that accompany such moments of irrevocable change.

The exhibition is curated by Danielle Sommer, Assistant Curator at USC Fisher Museum of Art.
