About the Item

Paula Clendenin (American, b. 1949) Untitled, 1983 Lithograph Sight: 30 x 22 1/2 in. Framed: 44 3/4 x 34 3/4 in. Numbered, titled, dated and signed bottom: 1/15 / "The Things That Matter" / 83 Artist Paula Clendenin was born June 22, 1949, in Cedar Grove, Kanawha County. She has earned national acclaim for her paintings: richly colored, textured shapes that merge West Virginia’s mountain landscape with mystical and spiritual symbols. Clendenin attended West Virginia University, where she received a bachelor’s degree and M.F.A. During her final semester of undergraduate school, she was inspired by a printmaking class to pursue art. She continued to make prints, but also began to paint on canvas. By the mid-1980s, Clendenin had developed a distinctive painting style, characterized by multilayered surfaces and mountain shapes. Her preferred medium is oil stick and paper. Clendenin’s work has been featured in more than a dozen solo exhibitions and in numerous exhibitions with other artists. More than 25 corporate, private, and public collections display her paintings. Clendenin’s paintings also appear in collections at the Library of Congress, Dallas Library Commission in Texas, and Fleet-Boston, formerly the Bank of Boston. Clendenin has won several honors including the Governor’s Award three times in the West Virginia Juried Exhibition, and the Award of Excellence at Huntington Museum of Art’s Exhibition 280. She lives in Charleston, WV and teaches at West Virginia State University. She has taught at several institutions, including the University of Houston, Marshall University, West Virginia Wesleyan College, and the Governor’s School for the Arts.

Signed lower right, numbered lower left: 113/120 Lasky was as passionate about making art accessible to all as she was about creating it. She devoted much of her time to art education — as an education director for the Hudson River Museum, at the Lincoln Center Institute and the Bronx Council on the Arts. She was a consultant to the New York State Council on the Arts and the Connecticut State Department of Education and worked in many capacities, including director at the Museum of Modern Art’s education department from 1986 to 2001. Lasky brought art to countless Riverdale children and senior citizens through her work with Riverdale Neighborhood House. “Throughout her life she was always committed to her work as an artist, but she was also seriously committed to art education and that was important,” her son, Michael Lasky, said. “She worked toward innovative art programs and had the kids paint...
