Alexandra Munroe Instagram – On this Mother’s Day, I celebrate our family’s recent publication of this book on our mother, Enid Munroe. Artist, writer, gardener, photographer, and traveller of the world, this book presents a selection of works spanning her 60-year career as a painter of portraits, still lifes, and landscapes and as a collage and assemblage artist. My sisters and I wrote the introduction, “She Taught Us How to See Beyond Looking.” By coincidence with my Guggenheim path, our mother was friends with Greens Farms neighbor Hilla Rebay, who gave Enid her own easel, seen here on the frontis page. We learned everything worth knowing from our mother – the value of art, culture, history, friendship, conversation, and love.
