margaret azzoni

Margaret "Meg" Azzoni was born and raised in New York. She studied art and architecture at Princeton University where she also received her Master’s degree in Architecture. The fluidity of painting provided “a relief from the rigid lines of the architectural drawings.” Meg paints house landscapes, room interiors and dreams. The patterns and colors of Vuillard and Matisse inspired her. The most notable qualities in her pictures are composition, pattern-making and detail. G. I. Gurdjieff decribed art as scientific in that it sought to instruct, record or perhaps serve as a prayer (-he used the term magic)- in his book “Views from the Real World”. In Classical times, a sculpture of a man recorded anatomy; drawings of the galaxy documented the stars and other pictures could be read as a book, which they did not write,-- or viewed as a film, which they did not make. Meg’s pictures may describe a house design, document a dream or depict a room or a home in its landscape from a special point of view and thus, she “strives to communicate and create”.
