Margaret Whyte (born 21 February 1940) is a Uruguayan visual artist.




Career


Margaret Whyte began her artistic activity in 1972 at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Montevideo. She studied with Clarel Neme, Jorge Damiani, Amalia Nieto, Rimer Cardillo, Hugo Longa, and Fernando López Lage. She has been a member of the Contemporary Art Foundation (FAC) since its inception.
Her work includes paintings, soft sculptures, installations, and interventions. Whyte evokes the memory of the materials she uses – fragments of dresses, tablecloths, and bedspreads bring an intense color to her textile works in which she questions the ideals of beauty and their rituals – as a way to revalue the aesthetic independent of the beautiful.
Her assemblages are accumulations and layers of cut and torn, wrapped, tied, and sewn objects which propose a reflection on the situation of women, beauty, fashion, and their commercial logic.
In 2014 she received the Figari Award in recognition of her career. The jury, composed of Olga Larnaudie, Lacy Duarte, and Enrique Aguerre, cited the extreme uniqueness of her works and the intergenerational reference that she represents in the Uruguayan art world.
