Abercrombie’s stark, symbol-rich landscapes and enigmatic portraits painted in oil were influenced by the European Surrealist movement, magical realism, and her own dreams.
The artist’s mystical works suggest a life of wistful introspection and emotional struggle, offering visitors a chance to delve into her highly personal art.
Born in Austin, Texas, Abercrombie grew up in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, where the surrounding environments significantly inspired her atmospheric paintings.
Supported by the Federal Art Project during the Great Depression, Abercrombie embarked on her professional career as an artist in 1932.
