<p>Christina Ramberg exhibited in False Image exhibitions along with Roger Brown and Philip Hanson, to whom she was married. Her early student fascination with composing images in rows may have been inspired by Suellen Rocca’s interest in repeating patterns culled from commercial and industrial catalogues, as well as cheesy newspaper advertisements. Eventually, Ramberg’s image making settled on disturbing depictions of women who are cropped and sometimes bound, though often humorously coiffed or draped. She was chair of the Painting Department at SAIC for several years and served as a role model to innumerable women who studied at SAIC during her tenure.</p>

Drawing

Christina Ramberg was an American painter and drawer working primarily in graphite and watercolor from the 1970s onward. Her intimate compositions focused on domestic interiors, textiles, and abstracted architectural details rendered with meticulous precision and a restrained palette. Operating within the postwar American art context, her work emphasized close observation and formal restraint over expressive gesture.
