Marilyn Lanfear (December 27, 1930 - January 19, 2020) was an American sculptor and performance artist.[1]
Lanfear was born in Waco, Texas, and raised in Corpus Christi.[2] She earned her bachelor's degree at the University of Texas and received an MFA from the University of Texas San Antonio in 1978.[3] [4] She married, raised a family, and lived in New York City for some years.[4] After her return to Texas, she became a resident of San Antonio, where she showed much of her work.[2] [5]
Her work has been shown in many venues in Texas,[6] as well as some outside the United States. Her art is strongly autobiographical and sociological.[3] [7] Her work is also influenced by the theme of family.[8] Her works are exhibited in the permanent collections of the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.[1]
