A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, he also studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, Austria. He taught the first class in enameling in the United States, in 1935 at the Cleveland School of Art and later wrote three internationally acclaimed books on the subject. He is credited with finding simplified methods for applying enamel on copper, and inventing ways of putting enamel on large steel and aluminum plates.
His work has been in exhibitions around the world, and his enameled steel and copper murals are present in churches, restaurants, schools, and industrial buildings. The probably largest one is in Cleveland, Ohio, on St. Mary Romanian Orthodox Church.
Winter served as advisory editor of four art magazines and wrote over 200 articles on art. He gave lectures all over the U.S. and abroad.

Registered with The Viktor Schreckengost foundation, stock no. 6891
The son of a commercial potter in Sebring, Ohio, Viktor Schreckengost learned the craft of sculpting in clay from his father. In the mid-1920s, he enrolled at the Cleveland School of Art (now the Cleveland Institute of Art, or CIA) to study cartoon making, but after seeing an exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art he changed his focus to ceramics. Upon graduation in 1929, he studied ceramics in Vienna, Austria, where he began to build a reputation, not only for his art, but also as a jazz saxophonist. A year later, at the age of 25, he became the youngest faculty member at the CIA. In 1931, Schreckengost won the first of several awards for excellence in ceramics at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and his works were shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, and elsewhere.
By the mid-1930s, Schreckengost had begun to pursue his interest in industrial design. For American Limoges...

Egyptian Revival Lithograph
By Barbara Trupp
Located in Surfside, FL
(20th century)
Theban Archaeopteryx Lithographica
lithograph
edition of 15 signed
Barbara Trupp was born in Nebraska and spent her childhood in
Montana. She studied at the Banff Centre School of Fine Arts in Alberta,
Canada; the University of Puget Sound; and the University of Michigan.
Theban Archeaopteryx Lithographica was printed at the Plucked Chicken
Press in Evanston, Illinois.
“The stone is the shape of the Rosetta Stone, unlocking language, [a]
key to the past,” says Tripp. “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you came across
a stone, chipped at it, and revealed layer upon layer of visual history,
images from sophisticated Egypt back to Paleozoic trilobites?
“Lithography stones, quarried from the Jura Mountains of Bavaria,
reach us from the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic, bearing fossils of the
first birds. The bird fossil looked like it was doing an Egyptian dance, and
that reminded me of the wall paintings of the House of Eternity in Thebes.
‘Paint the walls brightly, cheerfully, so that our souls will take the form of
birds and fly,’ said Sennefer, the mayor of Thebes, in the tomb of his
wife Meryet.
“Fossils and archeological evidence provide proof that others existed
before us, and allow us to see their thoughts. The past is with us. Like
Archaeopteryx, Sennefer and Meryet still fly through eternity, though
frozen in stone. Above them is the protective eye of Horus. Trilobites
represent a breathtaking explosion of Cambrian life forms. Between Archaeopteryx and Egypt, I wanted mammals.
Petroglyphs. Human marks. Because my right hand is the trained hand, I drew with my left, childlike. And
I drew with a stick, dipped in asphaltum, and a ratty old brush...
