About the Item
Signed center left, 'Nura' for Nura Woodson Ulreich (American, 1899–1950) and created circa 1935; additionally stamped, verso, with certification of authenticity.
An early twentieth-century, Art Deco style figural lithograph showing a group of young girls seated together and holding hands.
This early twentieth-century painter, lithographer, muralist, author, poet and illustrator first studied at the Kansas City Art Institute before attending the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. In Chicago, she met and married fellow student, the American artist Buk Ulreich. The couple then moved to New York where Nura studied at the Art Students League with John French Sloan and Frederic Gruger. In 1926, they moved to Paris where Nura held her first exhibition at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées (1926). She subsequently exhibited widely and with success including with two entries accepted at the 1926 Salon d'Automne. The works from this early Paris period already show her preference for subjects that are firmly aligned with the dream-states of childhood and painted in what would become her characteristic, quasi-surreal, Art Deco style. It was during this first visit to France that she began to paint and exhibit under the brush name, 'Nura'.
After returning to the United States, Nura continued to exhibit widely, including at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Corcoran Galleries Biennials (1928-39), the Salons of America, the Society of Independent Artists (1928, 1941) and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1929-1931), among other national art institutions. Nura's work is held in numerous private and public collections including in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Art Museum, the Walker Art Center, the San Diego Museum of Art, and the David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University, among others.

Nura Ulreich
Nora Woodson Ulreich was born in 1899 in Kansas City, Missouri, and was known professionally as “Nura.” She was a painter, printmaker, author, and illustrator, particularly of children’s books. Ulreich studied at the Kansas City Art Institute, the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, and the Art Students League in New York. She also studied in Paris where she met her Hungarian-born husband, fellow artist Eduard Buk Ulreich, and first exhibited at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in 1926. Her style was a studied but naïve form of modernism and she often portrayed seemingly innocent views of children and their pets. Nura was a strong believer in Christian Science and sometimes included spiritual motifs in her whimsical pieces with an Art Deco-inspired palette. Nura frequently collaborated with Edward and their combined works often use the moniker “Bukannura.” In 1927, their work was exhibited at the Dudensing Gallery on 57th Street in New York. Eduard was also a muralist who completed commissions for the Treasury Department’s Section of Fine Arts between 1937 and 1940. Both Nura and Eduard are listed in Who Was Who in American Art and all other standard references.
