Ranchos Church Screen print, Late 1940's Signed lower right (see photo) Titled lower left (see photo) Edition: Unknown This image depicts the famous church San Francisco de Asis Mission Church in Ranchos de Taos. It was built between 1772 and 1816. It was importailized in American Art History by Georgia O'Keefe and Ansel Adams. Condition: Excellent Image size: 5 x 7 inches Sheet size: 6 x 8 3/8 inches Anna Barry (1970-2001) “In 1944, after several prior trips to the area during which they had become friends with several of the Taos Founders, Ira and his wife, the artist Anna Barry moved to Taos, New Mexico. They would reside in the area on and off until 1955. Like many others, Moskowitz was entranced by New Mexico's light, landscapes, and cultures. By the time Ira arrived there, the region had already attracted Georgia O'Keeffe, Robert Henri, and Leon Gaspard; the Southwest was starting to be recognized as an art center. Moskowitz and his wife became acquainted with Oscar Berninghaus, Andrew Dasburg, Ernest Blumenschein, and Mabel Dodge Lujan, among others. Ira wrote of that time that "Our house was always open and we had scarcely a single meal without visitors dropping in." "Anna Barry was an artist/printmaker. She married Ira Moskowitz (from a long line of Polish rabbinical leaders) in New York in 1938. They soon visited Taos and Santa Fe in New Mexico, returning there for extended periods until in 1944 they moved there permanently—staying until 1949 when they returned to New York. Her work in New Mexico depicts mostly the pueblos and their people, capturing ritual ceremonial dances in colorful serigraph prints and other artworks. She and Ira (also an artist) worked closely together during their New Mexico sojourns. The pueblos seemed their favored subjects there. She signed her New Mexico work as, "Anna Barry." Her prints are colorful and often detailed. The only ones I have seen (6 in all) were 5"x7" in size. Anna probably lived longest in New York, but perhaps was also in both Europe and Israel for extended periods. (See the AskART Ira Moskowitz biography.)"

"Skiing Near Holy Hill" is an original silkscreen print by Schomer Lichtner. The artist initials are lower right, and the title is along the lower edge. This print depicts people skiing near Holy Hill, Wisconsin. The artist used a muted blue, a deep and dark purple, and accents of red to create this piece. 4 7/8" x 6 7/8" art 11 7/8" x 13 7/8" frame Milwaukee artist, Schomer Lichtner passed away on May 9, 2006 at the age of 101. He continued to amaze and create with his whimsical paintings of ballerinas and cows. He and his late wife Ruth Grotenrath, both well-known Wisconsin artists, began their prolific careers as muralists for WPA projects, primarily post offices. Schomer Lichtner was well known for his whimsical cows and ballerinas, such as his "Ballerina Dancing on Cow" sculpture below. The late James Auer, art critic for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel referred to Lichtner as the artist laureate of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was the official artist of the Milwaukee Ballet. Lichtner also painted murals for industry and private clients. Schomer was a printmaker and produced block prints, lithographs, and serigraph prints. His casein (paint made from dairy products) and acrylic paintings are of the rural Wisconsin landscape and farm animals. He became interested in cows when he and Ruth spent summers near Holy Hill in Washington County. According to David Gordon, director of the Milwaukee Art Museum, Schomer Lichtner had a tremendous joie de vivre, " joy of life," and expressed it in his art. Schomer Lichtner was nationally known for his whimsical paintings and sculptures of black- and white-patterned Holstein cows and elegant ballerina dancers. Lichtner also painted all sorts of combinations of beautiful women, flowers and country landscapes. James Auer, former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel art critic, said that his art eventually "exploded into expressionistic design elements with bold, flat areas of color and high energy that anticipated Pop Art." Auer went on to describe Lichtner’s work as full of "wit, vigor and virtuosity." As early as 1930, Lichtner’s work was shown at the prestigious Carnegie International Exhibition in New York and at museums throughout the Midwest. As a student, he was a protégé of another icon of 20th century American art, Gustave Moeller...
