dbo:abstract
- Marjorie Schick (August 29, 1941 – December 17, 2017) was an innovative American jewelry artist and academic who taught art for 50 years. Approaching sculptural creations, her avant-garde pieces have been widely collected. Her works form part of the permanent collections of many of the world's leading art museums, including the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia; the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City; the National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto, Japan; the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Pennsylvania; and the Victoria and Albert Museum of London. Growing up in the Heartland of the United States, Schick was raised by her single mother, who as an art instructor nurtured her creative talent. After attending the University of Wisconsin–Madison, she completed a master's degree in fine art at Indiana University Bloomington. She then moved to Kansas, shortly thereafter beginning a lifetime association with Pittsburg State University, where she taught as an art professor. In addition to her teaching, Schick developed a worldwide reputation as a jewelry artist, creating works which were more like body sculptures than traditional jewelry. Her conception of pieces allowed her work to be displayed on the body while simultaneously interacting with it, rather than simply being worn as an adornment. As one of the innovators who moved jewelry craftsmanship away from metals in the 1960s, she experimented with a wide variety of materials, including papier-mâché, wooden dowels, rubber, string, and canvas. Her large-scale works were typically brightly colored and represented a modernist abstract aesthetic. (en)
- Marjorie Ann Schick-Krask (Taylorville, 29 augustus 1941 – Kansas City, 17 december 2017) was een vernieuwend Amerikaans sieraadontwerper, beeldhouwer, performancekunstenaar en docent. Haar avant-garde stukken, die op sculpturele creaties lijken, zijn op grote schaal verzameld. Schick ontwikkelde een wereldwijde reputatie als sieraadontwerper, met werken die meer sculpturen waren dan traditionele sieraden. Haar stukken worden getoond op het lichaam, terwijl ze er tegelijk een interactie mee aangaan. Haar werk is groot van formaat en rijk aan kleur en is geschikt als draagbaar object, zelfstandige sculptuur of wandobject. Het schreeuwt om aandacht en houdt het midden tussen sieraad en sculptuur. Als een van de vernieuwers die in de jaren 1960 afstand namen van het gebruik van metaal, experimenteerde ze met een breed scala aan materialen. Zo vervaardigde zij onder meer schoenen en kragen en gebruikte daarvoor materialen als hout, triplex, verf, kippengaas, papier-maché, metaal, rubber, touw en canvas. Regelmatig maakte Schick sieraden en objecten voor dansgezelschappen en performers. (nl)

- There are five major aspects to my work: the constructed three-dimensional form, the color relationships, the definition of space, the combination of patterns, and the scale of the objects in relationship to the human figure. My goal is to create a sense of visual tension among the formal elements of each object, such as from line to plane, from color to value, from one directional force to another, or from the rhythms in the structure to the rhythms in the colors. Each object is studied and worked in totality, no part being any less important than any other. (en)
