The SCAD Museum of Art celebrates pioneering figure of American design and brand development Vera Neumann with an exhibition of her drawings, watercolors, silkscreened production prints, and scarves generously gifted to the museum by The Vera Neumann Artwork Trust. Neumann is perhaps best known for her eponymous line of Vera scarves that have been worn by fashionistas, first ladies, and movie stars alike. Identifying as an “artist who paints things for people rather than for walls,” Neumann defined the aesthetics of the mid-20th century with her complex patterns, abstract forms, and vibrant colors. The exhibition situates Neumann’s work in dialogue with a collection of silk scarves produced by New York-based artist textiles company Massif Central and designed in collaboration with some of the most important visual artists working today. This pairing accentuates the legacy and continued relevance of Neumann’s groundbreaking approach to democratizing art through joy, creativity, and innovation.
