Marilyn
Newmark grew up in rural Long Island, New York where she still resides.
She drew her first horse at the age of four, began working in clay
while in high school and started selling her ceramic horses when
she was seventeen. Her sculpture is a vital artistic expression of
her love for horses - around which most of her life has revolved.
Marilyn has earned colors with two hunts, competed in both riding
and driving shows and still hacks her horses regularly.
Miss
Newmark was the protege of the late renowned horse illustrator,
Paul Brown, and worked with him until his death in 1958. In those
years she worked in ceramic and porcelain. She first used the
medium of bronze in 1970 and since then has won over 12 Gold
Medals and 90 Awards at juried national art exhibitions.
Margit
Malstrom, in American Artist, said, "Miss Newmark
works in the classic tradition of the 19th century animaliers...
knowledge of her subject invests her sculptured horses with an
impeccable quietude, a timelessness and dignity matched only
by the animals, themselves."
She
is an Academician of the National Academy (Ellin P. Speyer Prize,
1974, 1993, 1999; Artists Fund Prize, 1982); Fellow and former
Board member of the National Sculpture Society (C.P. Dietch Prize,
1977, Council of American Artists Societies Award, 1972, Bronze
Medal, 1986, Mildred Victor Memorial Prize, 1996); Founding Member
and Director of the American Academy of Equine Art; Vice President
and Juror of the Society of Animal Artists; Fellow of the Allied
Artists of America (Linsy Morris Memorial Award, 1980, Gold Medal,
1981, 1993); Fellow of the American Artists Professional League
(Gold Medal, 1974, 1977, Medal of Honor,1987).
She
produces unique, limited editions and commissions. She has done
commissions for the Franklin Mint, Thoroughbred Racing Association,
Professional Horsemen's Association, Thoroughbred Breeders of
Kentucky, Japan Racing Association and others. Her work is in
the National Museum of Racing and the International Museum of
the Horse, Kentucky.
Her
biography is in Who's Who in America, American Art, American
Women, in the World, World's Who's Who of Women and Masters
of American Sculpture.
