Notes
"A brooding, mystical creative spirit" is how Boston Herald critic Lawrence Dame described Louise Marianetti in her 1949 exhibition here at the Art Association of Newport. Marianetti graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1936 and went off to the Art Students League for three years, where she studied with William Palmer and Robert Brackman. She returned to Rhode Island in the 1940s to build her career and created a body of work that was termed "magic realism," probably as opposed to the social realism of such artists as Isabel Bishop. Marianetti showed her work at the Art Association in 1941, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1954.
