He was also a tapestry and stained-glass designer. He designed the windows for Temple Emanu-El, San Francisco&#8217;s largest synagogue, as well as has textiles featured in the de Young Museum and San Francisco International Airport. Later in life, Adams transitioned to watercolors, employing everyday objects\u2013such as a flag, a bowl of fruit, and ballet shoes\u2013as his subjects and creating pristine and almost hyper-real images. Through Adams\u2019s vivid, delicate, and translucent colors, these mundane items take on deeper meanings. The artist was married to Beth Van Hoesen, who has portrayed him in an interior scene surrounded by objects he might have also portrayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"722\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"18631\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.20.5-722x900.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.20.5-722x900.webp 722w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.20.5-241x300.webp 241w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.20.5-768x958.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.20.5-1232x1536.webp 1232w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.20.5-504x628.jpg 504w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.20.5.webp 1539w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\" data-id=\"14895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2021\/01\/blank-image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14895\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\" data-id=\"14895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2021\/01\/blank-image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14895\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Adams (American, 1925-2006) Adams attended Syracuse University and left to study&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1626,"featured_media":0,"parent":1152,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_dimp_site_id":"","_dimp_override_contact":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-19402","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1626"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19402"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19402\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19404,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19402\/revisions\/19404"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
