About the Item
Nora Othic is considered one of the top regionalist painters in the Midwest. She builds on a legacy from her artistic predecessors such as Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton and the WPA artists from the Depression era, all known for celebrating rural America.
Othic moved to Marceline, Missouri when she was 7 years old and still lives on a farm today. Her rural experiences form and sustain her work as an artist, with numerous museum and gallery exhibitions in the Midwest to her credit. Her paintings reflect her lifestyle and focus on the ordinary aspects of life, exploring relationships between people, animals, and the environment. Her straightforward depiction of the everyday approaches the heroic.
Othic has felt an important connection to farm animals since childhood, seeing them as a bridge between humanity and the natural world. Every year, she travels to the Missouri State Fair to take reference photos for her paintings. Not only are the animals (prime examples of their breeds) available for close-ups; they are shampooed, brushed, clipped, and polished to perfection, so that her paintings of them become iconic as well as descriptive.
Othic’s paintings and drawings of horses, roosters, pigs, and rabbits are in a class of their own. While Othic often shows humans in action, completing a task or caring for an animal, her animals are presented in stillness, tranquil and dignified, each a blue-ribbon winner. She is a sympathetic and keen observer and clearly sees each creature as a unique individual and nowhere is this more apparent than in her portraits of rabbits. Elizabeth Kirsch has said of Othic’s rabbits, “Not since Albrecht Durer has any artist seemed to care as much about these gentle creatures.”
Nora Othics artwork is held in the collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO; Daum Museum of Contemporary Art, Sedalia, MO; Marianna-Kistler Beach Museum of Art, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS; City of Overland Park, KS; Great Plains Art Museum, Lincoln, NE and others.

Calling herself a Neo-Regionalist, Nora Othic currently resides in Brookfield, Missouri. Working in oil, pastel and watercolor, Othic's style is always representational. She notes, "The subject is never the subject; a painting of two houses is more about placing geometrical shapes next to organic ones and a watercolor of a country road is actually an arrangement of values and colors.” Her paintings reflect her lifestyle and focus on the ordinary aspects of life, exploring the relationship between humanity and how we interact with our environment. Humor is a constant undercurrent of Othic’s work, elevating everyday objects and scenes to an iconic status almost Pop Art in nature.
