Competition label on verso. Presented in new mat. Image size: 18"H x 23.5"W. Nancy Stone DeGuire (1947-2013) and Lawrence R. DeGuire, Jr. (1947-2006) met as undergraduate art students at Washington University. They married in 1969, earned their bachelor of fine arts degrees in 1970 and in 1972 commenced what would become a lifelong artistic partnership. Based in Carmel Valley, Calif., Stone & DeGuire exhibited widely on the west coast. Major exhibitions include shows at the Pacific Grove Art Center, the Monterey Museum of Art and the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga. “We are two artists, husband and wife, working together, producing a single object,” they noted in an artists’ statement. “We prefer our works to be presences that question rather than answer, challenge rather than agree, and arouse rather than clarify. “We cannot be halved.”
