![]() “She was a remarkable teacher who came along at the right time for me,” he says. Magee also cites his Council Rock High School art teacher, Isabel Westberg, as a mentor who “inspired and guided the kids with artistic inclinations.” “In the documentary, I talk about her exceptional drawing ability and the absence of support from her own parents.” “My mother was my earliest influence…she would put piles of paper in front of me along with colored pencils and crayons,” Magee says. Some of his earliest memories involve drawing at a little table his mother set up for him in the family home at 103 N. Now a resident of Maine, Magee grew up half a block from the Newtown Theatre. Michener Art Museum has presented two retrospective exhibitions of Magee’s work and owns a selection of his paintings.Īlan Magee: art is not a solace examines the ways in which art can address some of the greatest challenges that we face as a society, including social injustice and violence, the increasing threats to our democracy, and the urgency of speaking truth to power. Magee’s arresting images-which comment on corporate greed, cruelty, gun violence, and civilian and military victims of war-at first seem at odds with his exquisite and serene paintings of nature and found objects.
