Published by University of Illinois Press, Urbana; printed by, Crafton Graphic Company, Inc., New York, 1956. Excerpted from the University of Illinois, Urbana, Repository: UIHistories Project: Board of Trustees Minutes - 1956 [page 1001], One Thousand boxed portfolios (brochures with accompanying plates) by Abraham Rattner and one thousand additional four-color illustrations ABRAHAM RATTNER (1895-1978) was an American artist, best known for his richly colored paintings, often with religious subject matter. During World War I, he served in France with the U.S. Army as a camouflage artist. Rattner lived in Paris from 1920 until 1940, when he returned to New York City. He became known for his rich use of color and surrealist aspects of his work, which often pertained to religion. Although while living in Paris, he had met and studied the paintings of Claude Monet, his work is generally closer to that of Georges Rouault and Pablo Picasso. During World War II, he again volunteered for camouflage service, but was able to do very little (Culkin 1980). Later, he taught at several schools, including The New School, New York (1947–55), and Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut (1952–53).

  • "Upper Room" Modern Abstract Figurative Female Lithograph Edition 10/75
    By John Biggers
    Located in Houston, TX
    Modern abstract figurative lithograph by renowned artist John Biggers. The work features a trio of women carrying a house on their backs set against a rural landscape. Signed, titled, dated, and editioned along the front lower margin. Currently hung in a black frame with a white matting. Dimensions Without Frame: H 38.75 in. x W 27 in. Artist Biography: Born in Gastonia, North Carolina in 1924, John Biggers studied at Hampton Institute (now Hampton University) under Viktor Lowenfeld and muralist Charles White. In 1943, Biggers' mural, Dying Soldier, was included in the exhibition curated by Lowenfeld, Young Negro Art, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. After serving in the United States Navy, Biggers transferred to Pennsylvania State University where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees as well as his doctorate in art education. In 1949, Biggers accepted a faculty position at Texas State University for Negroes (now Texas Southern University) in Houston, where he founded and chaired the art department until his retirement. In the early 50s, he won prizes for his work at annual exhibitions held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Dallas Museum of Art. In 1957, he traveled to Africa on a UNESCO fellowship to study Western African cultural traditions, becoming one of the first black artists to study the culture first-hand rather than through library research. His work was profoundly influenced by his experiences in Africa. He was known for his murals, but also for his drawings, paintings, and lithographs, and was honored by a major traveling retrospective exhibition from 1995 to 1997. He created archetypal imagery that spoke positively to the rich and varied ethnic heritage of African Americans, long before the Civil Rights era drew...
