Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox artist Glenora Richards (February 18, 1909 – October 21, 2009) was an American miniature painter and designer of postage stamps. The collector Lewis Rabbage called her the "greatest miniature painter of her time, and perhaps ever."[1]
Early life, education, and family
Glenora Case was born in 1909 in New London, Ohio. Her parents were Bertha and Tracy Case.[1]
She attended high school in Litchfield, Ohio, where she played the violin.[1] She studied art at the Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA) in the 1920s.[1][2] She met her future husband, Walter DuBois Richards, also a student at the CIA, while she was sketching at a department store. The couple married and moved to New York City.[1]
In 1941, the family moved to New Canaan, Connecticut, where she lived until just before her death in 2009.[1] She had two children.
Walter Richards died in 2006 and Glenora Richards died in 2009 at a nursing home in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.[1] She continued to paint and upon her death, she was the last surviving member of the American Society of Miniature Painters.[3]
Work and recognition
Richards painted miniature portraits and designed postage stamps.[1] In 1953, she was awarded the medal of honor by the National Association of Women Artists.[2] Timothy, a miniature portrait of her adolescent son, was awarded The National Association of Women Artists Prize at the organization's 1962 Annual Exhibition.[4]
Her miniature portrait of the prize-winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay was the basis for a U.S. postage stamp, issued in 1981.[5][6] She also designed a postage stamp to commemorate Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, a U.S. Army surgeon who was the first woman to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.[7]
