Shelly Terman Canton
Date: 1964
Credit Line: Terra Foundation for American Art, Gift of Mrs. Joyce Turner Hilkevitch in memory of Jonathan B. Turner
Object number: C1991.7
Text Entries: Shelly Terman Canton grew up in Lakeview, Illinois, daughter of a Chicago businessman and a concert pianist. At the age of eighteen she left Iowa State University to begin a career as a printmaker and draughtsman in New York, where she greatly admired the socially critical work of painter, graphic artist and photographer Ben Shahn. Canton's own art was directly informed by her awareness of hardship and injustice; the prominently gnarled hands, jagged linearity and somber mood of Mother and Child are particularly reminiscent of twentieth-century German artist Kathe Kollwitz's stark, black and white images of mothers. Canton's poetry likewise expresses her conception of the artist's task as, at least partly, an empathetic one:
My arms reach out like tentacles
Feeling every pulse, experiencing every pain
Some child's cry wakes me and I can't sleep
I hear the whole world whispering in my ear.
