Dahlov Ipcar (née Zorach) was born on November 12th, 1917 in Windsor, Vermont. Both her parents were successful artists already: William Zorach was one of the first American Cubist sculptors and painters, and Marguerite was one of the earliest American Fauvist painters and graphic designers. Dahlov was raised in Greenwich Village in New York City and attended the City and Country School, Caroline Pratt’s famous progressive school, surrounded her whole childhood by bohemian influences. Encouraged by her parents, she started painting at a very young age. She briefly attended Oberlin, dropping out after only one semester, frustrated with the academic restrictions on her artistic expression. In 1936 the 18 year old Dahlov married Adolph Ipcar, a 30 year old man hired to tutor her in math for her college tests. They lived in the city for a year before moving into the extra farmhouse on her parents’ property in Georgetown, Maine. They became subsistence farmers, growing their own food and raising animals with their two sons, and selling eggs and milk on the side for extra money. In 1939 she had her first solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, making her the first woman and the youngest artist at the time to be featured in a solo exhibition there. In the 1940s and 50s Dahlov’s art style shifted as she was influenced by the prevailing style of Social Realism. Dahlov continued painting throughout her life as both a source of pleasure and income, and illustrated numerous children’s books, both her own and for others. She also wrote four original adult fantasy novels and crafted three-dimensional cloth sculptures. Throughout her life Dahlov completed ten large-scale mural projects for public buildings, two of them for U.S. post offices in La Follette, Tennessee, and Yukon, Oklahoma. The rest are spread across Maine, including the children’s room at the Patten Free Library in Bath and a 106 foot long panorama of Maine animals in the Narragansett Elementary School in Gorham. Her style shifted again in the 1960s and 70s, becoming more colorful and kaleidoscopic, using geometric patterns to depict farm animals and exotic settings. Dahlov received honorary degrees from the University of Maine, Colby College, and Bates College, and in 1998 the University of Minnesota honored Dahlov with the Kerlan Award for Children’s Literature. After Adolph died in 2003 she worked less and less, eventually cared for at a nursing facility in Brunswick, where she died on February 10th, 2017. Dahlov’s works are now in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum, as well as in many museums across Maine and in corporate and private collections throughout the country.
