Helen Landgarten Los Angeles Figural Oil Painting Framed an Art Therapy Founder

About the Item

Landgarten, signed on verso. Estate fresh. Beautiful calming painting. Unrestored, and in Fair/Poor vintage condition, no rips, no holes, but a dark scuff streak on left side, and some textural cracking underneath top layer of paint, and some top layer paint loss in the dark purple/blue area. Last three images shown in incandescent light. Frame W 27 x H 27 / Painting W 22 x H 22 in. Helen established the practice of clinical art therapy at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the 1970’s and founded the first West Coast master’s degree in art therapy at Immaculate Heart College in 1976. Her successes at Thalians Community Mental Health Clinic at Cedars-Sinai Hospital legitimized the practice and over the years the students she trained expanded the vistas of art therapy. In addition to this key contribution, she epitomized the ideal of a creative life of service. Landgarten’s legacy as an artist, an art therapist and an art therapy educator is enormous. In addition to pioneering art therapy in the United States, Helen was the first to understand the potential for art to be used as a clinical process within family systems approaches to psychotherapy.
