Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Elizabeth Murray, from the "Humor" episode in Season 2 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Humor" premiered in October 2003 on PBS.

In her studio, Elizabeth Murray is painting a shaped, colorful canvas with inflated, bulbous forms. Murray has spent a lifetime developing her particular vision of zany and vibrant images, beginning with her time as a student at the Art Institute of Chicago where she was surrounded by great works of art such as the Abstract Expressionist paintings by DeKooning.

Elizabeth Murray was born in Chicago in 1940. Learn more about the artist at: https://art21.org/artist/elizabeth-murray
