Biographical/Historical Information

Marisol – or Mariá Sol Escobar was an American sculptor, born to Venezuelan parents in Paris, France in 1930. After a rather traumatic childhood and youth in Venezuela and in the United States, she finally could devote herself to her artistic talents, which got formally schooled at the Paris École des Beaux-Arts; at the Art Students League of New York; and at the New School for Social Research. Marisol excelled in sculptures, expressing folk art, dada, and surrealism, often with a feministic touch.
