About the Item

Edward Winter (American, 1908-1976) Helen of Troy, 1938 Enamel Signed and dated lower right 43 x 18 inches 44.5 x 19.5 inches, framed Exhibited: Cleveland Museum of Art, May Show 1938 A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, he also studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, Austria. He taught the first class in enameling in the United States, in 1935 at the Cleveland School of Art and later wrote three internationally acclaimed books on the subject. He is credited with finding simplified methods for applying enamel on copper, and inventing ways of putting enamel on large steel and aluminum plates. His work has been in exhibitions around the world, and his enameled steel and copper murals are present in churches, restaurants, schools, and industrial buildings. The probably largest one is in Cleveland, Ohio, on St. Mary Romanian Orthodox Church. Winter served as advisory editor of four art magazines and wrote over 200 articles on art. He gave lectures all over the U.S. and abroad.

Viktor Schreckengost (American, 1906-2008) Mayan Watercolor heightened with gouache over pencil on paper Signed lower right 39 x 29 inches 45.5 x 35.5 inches, framed Registered with The Viktor Schreckengost foundation, stock no. 6891 The son of a commercial potter in Sebring, Ohio, Viktor Schreckengost learned the craft of sculpting in clay from his father. In the mid-1920s, he enrolled at the Cleveland School of Art (now the Cleveland Institute of Art, or CIA) to study cartoon making, but after seeing an exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art he changed his focus to ceramics. Upon graduation in 1929, he studied ceramics in Vienna, Austria, where he began to build a reputation, not only for his art, but also as a jazz saxophonist. A year later, at the age of 25, he became the youngest faculty member at the CIA. In 1931, Schreckengost won the first of several awards for excellence in ceramics at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and his works were shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, and elsewhere. By the mid-1930s, Schreckengost had begun to pursue his interest in industrial design. For American Limoges...
