Caroline Durieux
1896–1989

Introduction

Caroline Wogan Durieux (January 22, 1896 – November 26, 1989) was an American printmaker, painter, and educator. She was a Professor Emeritus at both Louisiana State University, where she worked from 1943 to 1964 and at Newcomb College of Tulane University (1937–1942). Carl Zigrosser, Keeper of Prints at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, wrote:

"Durieux is master of her instrument. It is like an epigram delivered in a deadpan manner:the meaning sinks in casually; when all of a sudden the full impact dawns on one, it haunts one for days. Her work has that haunting quality because its roots are deep, its vision profound".
