Allison Zuckerman
Allison Zuckerman (born 1990) is an American contemporary artist and painter. Zuckerman's pop-surrealist work fuses painting with digital printing techniques and appropriates various art historical tropes and references to "recast the submissive, romanticized female muses painted by male artists throughout Western art history as commanding, empowered figures." Zuckerman creates an alternative narrative by remixing the female sitters of prominent male artists into a feminist 21st century. Early life and education Zuckerman grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She received a BA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2012 and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2015. Zuckerman attended the Yale Norfolk Summer School of Art in 2011. Work and exhibitions Zuckerman's first solo exhibition, "Act Natural", opened at Kravets Wehby Gallery in 2017. Zuckerman was the artist-in-residence at the Rubell Family Collection during the summer of 2017. During this time, ...

Master Of Fine Arts
A Master of Fine Arts (MFA or M.F.A.) is a terminal degree in fine arts, including visual arts, creative writing, graphic design, photography, filmmaking, dance, theatre, other performing arts and in some cases, theatre management or arts administration. It is a graduate degree that typically requires two to three years of postgraduate study after a bachelor's degree, though the term of study varies by country or university.

A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines.

Artists From Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
An artist is a person engaged in an activity related to creating art, practicing the arts, or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse refers to a practitioner in the visual arts only. However, the term is also often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (although less often for actors). "Artiste" (French for artist) is a variant used in English in this context, but this use has become rare. Use of the term "artist" to describe writers is valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like used in criticism. Dictionary definitions The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' defines the older broad meanings of the term "artist": * A learned person or Master of Arts. * One who pursues a practical science, traditionally medicine, astrology, alchemy, chemistry. * A follower of a pursuit in which skill comes by study or practice. * A follower of a manual art, such as a m ...
