Stella SNEAD
USA

(1910 - 2006)
Snead fled Europe in November 1939 and divided her first decade in this country between New York and Taos, New Mexico. From 1940-1950, Snead was the subject of eleven solo exhibitions, three in museums. Wider recognition returned to Snead in 2005, when her work was included in Surrealism USA, a major exhibition of American Surrealism at the National Academy Museum in New York, followed by subsequent exhibitions at the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and several important gallery exhibitions of Surrealism.
