Honing the Cutting Edge of Conservative Styles
The New York Times
July 26, 1996

"Alice Zinnes’s ‘Magic Dream,’ with its flare of yellow set against a forest-green ground, earns its pride of place over the room’s marble fireplace.

-Holland Cotter, The New York Times

Children’s Fairy Tales Inspire Artist’s Works
The Dartmouth
January 24, 1997

"…before reaching the innocent fragile pictorial universe Zinnes now inhabits, she had to pass many tests of courage, and ward off the traumatic doubts and fears that continually plagued the artist’s life…She would spend days on end copying the master’s etchings, freely translating them in her own idiom, yet preserving his (Cezanne) ‘control of light and dark,’ and ‘the identities he’s able to create.’ …This is where Zinnes stands today; Immersed in myths, in magic fables, she has elaborated a personal style that combines a ‘sense of exploration and inevitable fear.’

-Antony Hudek, The Dartmouth
