Minna Citron
Minna Citron, Lambs' Creel

1941

About the Item

This serene subject, the Lambs' Creel relates to Minna Citron's mural project focusing on the Tennessee Valley Authority. It was such a new world to her. Here the liminal light, the animals, and the temporary enclosure --- the 'creel,' are almost magical. It is signed and dated to the right of the creel. A figurative artist with a sardonic edge, and an early modernist, Minna Citron was born in Newark, New Jersey. In 1928 she began to study at the Art Students League and in 1929 took her first studio, on Union Square, NY. In 1933 she moved across the Square to a studio that she maintained until her death. She lived nearby. With colleagues Isabel Bishop, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Reginald Marsh, she was part of the Fourteenth Street School.

Jack Henderson, Exit
By Jack Henderson
Located in New York, NY
The frame adds a few inches to the size and was selected by the artist. Jack Henderson (1931-1998) taught at the Art Students League for many years and had a studio in at 30 East 14th Street, New York City. In that building were many other artists including Henderson's teacher and long-time collaborator, Edward Laning. A Kansas City native, Henderson was the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship and a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome. He continued the Miller/Laning tradition of travel to Italy to study the masters of the Renaissance and the goal of fine figure painting as the ultimate artistic achievement. A version of his monumental triptych, New York in Ruin, 1967, is in the collection of the New York Landmarks Commission. Work by Jack Henderson was shown at the Susan Teller Gallery...

"Looking for Breakfast", Oil Painting
By Christopher Clark
Located in Denver, CO
Christopher Clark's (US based) "Looking for Breakfast" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a bird perched in a flooded grassy field. Bio/artist statement: Christopher has been an artist since early childhood, when he would watch Bob Ross on PBS and mimic the famed oil painter’s art with crayons. He considers himself a self-educated artist, with his studies ranging from personal training with contemporary masters, to classical academic art technique, with much inspiration from 19th Century art and the Impressionist Movement. Christopher lived in Italy for a time, immersing himself in Italian culture and art, which continues to influence his painting. His fan base has grown considerably since his return to the US, gaining the attention of Lucasfilm and Marvel Fine Art, which both signed him as an officially licensed artist in 2016. Other clients include George Lucas, Major League Baseball, Louisville Slugger...
