Grace Hartigan: The Gift of Attention

at The North Carolina Museum of Art

Apr 12 - Aug 10, 2025

Grace Hartigan (1922–2008) rapidly rose to national acclaim during the 1950s with her daring canvases that blended abstraction with elements of figuration. By Hartigan’s side were poets Daisy Aldan, Barbara Guest, James Merrill, Frank O’Hara, and James Schuyler. Their bold lyricism and critical support deeply inspired Hartigan, playing a crucial role in her success. She recalled that the rebellious spirit of these poets, many of whom were gay or lesbian, fueled her independent artistic vision.
