RW Norton Art Foundation Gallery: Zelda by Herself: The Art of Zelda Fitzgerald
(February 15 - April 10, 2005)



Zelda Fitzgerald's life was overshadowed by that of her husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald, the author. In spite of this, according to the press release, Zelda managed to attain professional status in three different artistic areas: ballet, writing, and art. Until recently not a great deal of attention has been focused on her artistic achievements. This exhibition redresses this imbalance by showing the works she created in oil, watercolor, decorative objects, and, most enchantingly, a series of paper dolls created for her daughter Scottie.
