JOSEPH G. CHENOWETH (American 1890-1967) A PAINTING, "Portrait of a Young Lady," oil on canvas board, signed. 19 1/2" x 23 1/2". Framed. In the fall of 1912, Joseph Chenoweth attended the Cincinnati Art Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he studied with Frank Duveneck (1848-1919). The pulp artists John Drew (1885-1953), Henry C. Kiefer (1890-1957), and Charles L. McCann (1905-1967) all attended this school. In 1914 he moved to Chicago to work as a staff artist at the Thomas Casslock Advertising Company, which was located on the corner of Harrison and Loomit Streets. He also took night classes at the Art Institute of Chicago. He joined the Palette & Chisel Club. Several other Chicago-area pulp artists also belonged to this club, such as C. C. Senf (1873-1949) and Frank Hoban (1870-1943). During the 1920s he worked in the lucrative world of Chicago advertising and also illustrated stories in Woman's World and The American Magazine. He also received several commissions to paint murals in opulent private homes, such as the Cheek Mansion on Nashville, Tennessee and the McKinney mansion in Titusville, Pennsylvania. In 1924 he taught painting at the American Academy of Art in Chicago.
