Anne Wall Thomas(1928-2024): North Carolina Artist with a Bauhaus Heart
Anne Thomas was born in Lilesville, NC and received her art education at the Greensboro Women’s College, now UNC-G. She matriculated during the post WW II era, when “abstract” art was considered avant-garde. Thomas, along with Maud Gatewood and Lee Hall, studied under the guiding hand of Gregory Ivy, who invited to speak and teach such luminaries as Josef Albers and Walter Gropius. The Weatherspoon Museum was actively acquiring modern art, and Thomas studied the works of Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline in the collection. From these influences Thomas worked her entire lifetime exploring the relationships of forms, colors, and textures most often through the language of triangles and rectangles. Thomas explored and mastered collage, painting, and printmaking. Her abstracts varied from quietly evocative atmospheres to powerful forces of nature.
