Exhibition History"Art, Music & Feminism in the 1950s," KIA Galleries 3 & 4 (January 21 - May 7, 2023).Label TextNinon Lacey's artwork focuses on judiciously rendered flowers, grasses, and trees, most often inspired by her immediate surroundings. Known for her limited color palette of black, white, and gray, she worked in pen and ink and as a printmaker.
Lacey studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston alongside her husband Bernard Chaet, and close friend (and fellow artist) Barbara Swan. Chaet is well-known for his association with the Boston Expressionists and his 40-year career as a Professor of Painting at Yale University. In 1994, he was named a National Academician by the National Academy of Design. Despite access to the leading artist of her era who worked in a variety of styles, Lacey remained faithful to the clarity and purity of her work, which is also represented in the collections of the National Gallery of Art and the Cape Ann Museum.
