Marjorie Kreilick dating history

Details

Marjorie Kreilick (November 8, 1925 - July 5, 2023) was an American sculptor, mosaicist, and educator based in Madison, Wisconsin. She was sometimes known as Marjorie Kreilick McNab after her marriage. Over the course of her career, she created more than fifteen large-scale mosaics, including a series of ten mosaics for the Wisconsin State Office Building in Milwaukee completed in 1963. A longtime professor at the University of Wisconsin Madison, where she taught for 38 years, Kreilick was the first professionally trained woman artist appointed to the university's Department of Art faculty. Her work integrated modernist architectural theory with traditional mosaic practices, reflecting her studies both under sculptor Erwin Frey and at Cranbrook Academy of Art, and her training in Rome with Italian mosaicists. She was a recipient of the Rome Prize and has works in private museum collections across the United States.
