About the Item

JOAN STRAUSS CAROL "MODERN FAMILY" FRUIT WOOD, SIGNED CALIFORNIA, C.1980 20 INCHES OVERALL Joan Strauss Carl 1926-2021 Joan Strauss Carl was a Los Angeles artist, teacher, and humanitarian activist. She was a past president of the Los Angeles Art Association and has left a formidable body of her work and commissions in private collections, museums and houses of worship. She was a prolific sculptor and painter. After studying art in Cleveland and at the Art Institute of Chicago, she traveled West. Her decision had proved smart as she quickly had six one-man shows and was consistently accepted in very important invitational, juried exhibitions from San Francisco to San Diego.  A quote from her exhibition: Joan Carl – One-Man Sculpture Show. “My work is my way of life. It is a constant search and examination and questioning of ideas as well as form and substance; and yet each new creation is a re-affirmation of respect and love of humanity and life.”  Joan was represented by Paideia Gallery in Los Angeles and resided in Sherman Oaks, California for many years. As a sculptor she worked in many mediums, including bronze, terracotta, stone and wood.
