A moody night scene of Great Britain's largest and polluted steel plant in Port Talbot, Wales. L. S. Lowry is the best known artist of Britain's industrial scenes of the 20th century but there were others which include this somber work by female artist and illustrator Nan Youngman OBE. Signed and dated lower left. Framed under glass . Framed size 21 x 28 . _________________________________________________________ Nancy Mayhew Youngman OBE, (28 June 1906 – 17 April 1995), was an English painter and educationalist. Youngman is remembered primarily as a painter, but from before the war to the mid-1960s she was an influential figure in art education, as a teacher, an author and an impressively efficient organizer of exhibitions. Nan Youngman was born in Maidstone in 1906 to John Henry Youngman – a partner in the corn merchants Bradley, Taylor, and Youngman – and his wife, Adelaide Edith (Bida), née Marshall. She attended Wycombe Abbey School and then the Slade School of Art (1924–27), where she was taught by Philip Wilson Steer and Henry Tonks. After she left the Slade, Youngman went on to study for an art teacher's diploma at the London Day Training College. There she was taught by Marion Richardson, who introduced her to Roger Fry and awakened her interest in children's art. From 1929 until 1944 she divided her time between painting and teaching; she lectured for the London County Council, gave practical art classes for schoolteachers and taught part-time. The organization of exhibitions became an important part of her strategy for increasing children's awareness of art. Throughout the 1930s, Youngman showed at the Wertheim Gallery and with the London Group. The death of her friend the artist Felicia Browne in the Spanish Civil War in 1936 altered Youngman's political outlook. She joined the left-wing Artists' International Association (AIA) and organised Browne's memorial exhibition.[2] AIA group shows became a focus for her painting, though politics never entered her own work. It was Nan Youngman who in 1939 famously asked a workman in from the Whitechapel High Street to open the AIA's exhibition "Art for All". In 1944 Youngman became art adviser to Cambridgeshire under Henry Morris. Nan Youngman became chairman of the Society for Education through Art in 1945 and published her ideas in articles for Athene (the SEA journal), the New Era in Home and School and the Education Journal. Through the SEA she initiated a remarkable series of exhibitions of contemporary art for sale...

"Morning Mist" is an original charcoal drawing on paper by Howard Schroedter. This drawing depicts a misty lake in darkness. The artist signed the piece in the lower right. 24 1/4" x 18" art 25 1/2" x 19" frame Howard Schroedter's paintings restore an experience for the art viewer that has become rare with the passing of such American artists as Charles Burchfield, Marsden Hartley, and Fairfield Porter. His moody, expressionist landscapes help us remember the power of specific places to arouse acute feelings in the sensitive artist. Schroedter's paintings are not the casual pictures of the artist in search of the picturesque. Schroedter knows the locales of his art as well as Edward Hopper knew Provincetown, Massachusetts, as intimately as Porter knew Southampton, Long Island. He did about a hundred paintings at Myyaka, Florida, while on a year's leave from the UW-Milwaukee where Schroedter has taught for twenty-nine years. He has created a vaster body of work focusing on Hatch Lake in Waupaca County, Wisconsin, where he has maintained a vacation home for more than twenty years. Schroedter's paintings are his contemplations of the mystery that envelopes these places and his own sense of smallness in relation to the lands. The viewer sees Myyaka and Hatch Lake as filtered through Schroedter's temperament. The air in his Myyaka scene is sparkly and clear, but quite often the atmospheres in Schroedter's pictures are dark and moody and owe something to the art of Joseph Friebert...
