A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“…Biting, never Bitter represents a timely and noteworthy solo presentation of Peggy Bacon’s wry observations of her social, professional, and artistic networks during the 1920s and 1930s. Featuring more than 60 prints, drawings, paintings, and pastels, Peggy Bacon: Biting, never Bitter is a testament to her enduring influence on the artistic landscapes in Maine, New York, and beyond…”
“…Peggy Bacon: Biting, never Bitter offers a compelling and satirical window into the social structures of the United States that still hold relevance today, particularly in areas of gender, education, and class. This compelling and witty exhibition presents an opportune moment for visitors to engage with the ideas and issues of Bacon’s time and ours, through an especially sardonic artist’s perspective.”
