About the Item

Shell and Leaves (Untitled), c. 1930s, mixed media on illustration board, signed lower right, 10 1/4 x 13 1/2 inches Edloe Risling was a California artist who created etchings and beautifully rendered mixed-media compositions featuring precisely drawn flora and other natural forms which often assumed a Magic Realist quality not unlike the work of Helen Lundeberg. A native Californian, Risling studied at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. She married Jay Risling, a fellow artist at the school and then worked as a fashion artist until 1934 when she and her husband established a studio on Montgomery Street. For many years they had a successful photography business, and she had many exhibitions of her mixed-media works, as well as monotypes. She was a member of the Kingsley Art Club and exhibited at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. In 1936, the San Francisco Art Center hosted a solo exhibition of Risling’s colored drawings, where the present work may have been exhibited. Her show coincided with one of Dong Kingman’s first solo exhibitions of watercolors. Risling’s work in the collection of the Oakland Museum of California and the California Historical Society, and she is listed in Who Was Who in American Art and other standard references.
