About the Item

Artist: Ruby Walker Usher – American (1889-1957) Title: Untitled Year: unknown, circa 1950 Medium: Watercolor on paper Size: 3 3/8 x 4 5/8 inches Framed size: 14.25 x 11.25 inches Signature: Signed upper right Condition: Very good This miniature watercolor portrait by Ruby Walker Usher is exceptional in its detail and in the use of light and shadow and shading. It is in very good condition, mounted to a matboard backing and framed in a simple metal frame. The painting is signed in the upper right, “Ruby W. Usher.” The subject appears to be Hispanic, so it is reasonable to assume that this painting was completed when Usher was living in Los Angeles – from the 1930’s until 1957. Ruby Walker Usher was born in Fairmont, NE on April 20, 1889. Usher studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, Carnegie Institute, American School of Miniature Painters, the Grand Central School of Art in NYC, and with Will Foster. She lived in Summit, NJ before moving to Los Angeles in the 1930s. A fire destroyed most of her work in 1943. She died in Los Angeles on Sept. 14, 1957. Member: Penn. Society of Min.

Of this kind of attention, he said: "I wish people would quit pushing my being Indian. The only time I was interviewed as If I were a normal person was by the Jewish Press in Tucson.
