Zanne Hochberg had a long career in painting. She recently had a one woman retrospective at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in 2011. Her work can be found in the collections of the DMA and the Blanton Museum of Art. Zanne was born in Rochester, NY. She moved to Dallas in 1953, earned her MFA at SMU and continued her painting career here with numerous exhibitions until her death in 2001. 

Her canvases are made up of colorful brush strokes, which create everything from unique organic shapes to human figuration. Dallas’ own Rick Bretell has paralleled to Zanne’s work that of works by Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner in a 2016 review.
