She studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in the 1940s, the Barnes Foundation in the 1960s, and was influenced by Philadelphia artists Violette de Mazia and Ben Wolf.
Her work featured colorful paint and bits of paper, and she exhibited in galleries and other venues in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Florida. “She had a creative spirit,” her daughter said.Lorraine Alexander, 100, of Jenkintown, a “dynamic” painter, collage artist, lifelong art advocate, and volunteer, died Thursday, March 7, of congestive heart failure at the Rydal Park and Waters retirement center.
In 2004, Inquirer art critic Edward J. Sozanski said Mrs. Alexander’s works display “a powerful tension between narrative realism.” He said: “They dare you to reconcile their abstract and representative natures, and often you can’t.” Mrs. Alexander studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in the 1940s, the Barnes Foundation in the 1960s, and was influenced by Philadelphia artists Violette de Mazia and Ben Wolf. She cofounded the ArtForms artist-run cooperative in Manayunk and served as president at the Cheltenham Art Center.
She married Richard Laub, and they had daughter Trish and sons John and Michael. They divorced later. Her former husband and sons died earlier.
