Alice Langenkamp

M.A. Langenkamp is an American East Coast artist born at the start of World War II. She grew up in Washington D.C. and is a world traveler.
Drawing was a first instinct. At age 12, the artist won a youth art competition sponsored by the National Symphony Orchestra by painting an image of the Personnage with Long Ears for Saint-Saens "Carnival of Animals". «  My painting was projected onto a screen on the stage of Constitution Hall in Washington as the orchestra played. This was my first exhibition.  By the late 1950s I began taking art classes at the Corcoran School of Art and was inspired by the wave of Abstraction swooping down from New York City from 1950 to 1980. I went to New York frequently and saw the work of de Kooning, Jackson Pollack and Larry Rivers whom I later met in 1985.
In 1960 the artist sailed to France on the ship « La Flandre »which became the first of many visits to Paris and later led to residence in Provence near Avignon.
In 1962 Langenkamp graduated from the School of International Affairs at George Washington University and subsequently worked at the Smithsonian Institution, Division of Civil History as archivist to celebrated historian, Wilcomb E. Washburne.
