About the Item
A 1940s American Scene watercolor depicting a snowy Chicago Street Scene by artist Grace Spongberg. Image size: 12 1/2" x 17". Framed size: 18 1/2" x 22 1/2". This painting comes from the notable Friedman Collection of Chicago.
Grace Spongberg (1906-1992). Spongberg was educated at the Art Institute of Chicago, where she studied under American Impressionists Albert Krehbiel and Louis Rittman. She traveled extensively in Mexico, Europe, and the Far East, which informed her work throughout her career. The Illinois Women Artists Project describes Spongberg's categories of artistic production as "Ceramicist, Lithographer, Painter-Oil, Pastelist, Photographer, Watercolorist." During her rich and fruitful career, Spongberg completed muralist commissions under the Works Progress Administration, painted private commissions, exhibited at numerous museums in the United States and around the world, and created a large body of paintings and lithographs that still trade on the art market today. Her four-panel mural in the lobby of the Bennett School in Chicago, completed as part of the WPA's Federal Art Project in 1939, is still on display there. Biography Source: McBride Rare Books
