About the Item

WALTER QUIRT Strong Man, c. 1939-40 Oil on masonite 2 1/16 x 2 1/8 inches Signed at lower right: QUIRT Titled verso Oxidized metal frame (possibly silver) Walter Quirt (born November 24, 1902 - March 19, 1968) was an American artist. He was employed by WPA Federal Arts Project for seven years.[1] He painted many small panels that showed his influences from Diego Rivera, and Jose Orozco.[1] Quirt was awarded the Cranbrook prize at the Michigan Artists Annual exhibition in 1946 that was held in Detroit, Michigan.[2] He was also awarded the Wisconsin Centennial Prize at the Wisconsin Artists Annual in 1948.[2] Born in Iron River, Michigan, Quirt attended the Layton School of Art in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1921.[1] He also studied at the McDowell Colony in New Hampshire.[1] Quirt began to teach art classes to some novice students up through 1926.[1] During his time at the schools he painted some of his early watercolor paintings which were exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1926, as well as in the International Watercolor Exhibitions of 1929.[1] Quirt's works are in the collections of the museums of modern art in San Francisco and New York City as well the Smithsonian and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He also has his works in the University of Washington Henry Art Gallery.[3] "The great artist is one who faithfully follows his impulses, who vigorously and courageously peels off layer after layer of restrictions, prohibitions, and inhibitions. This takes courage, for it automatically means suffering." - Walter Quirt[1] References[edit] Cooper, Elizabeth (1902-11-24). "Walter Quirt (1902-1968)".
