Description
1947 etching "Lulu" by Jessie Beard Rickley unframed and measuring 7" x 6". Rickly was an active member of the St. Louis arts community from the 1920s through the 1960s, exhibiting her work, giving public lectures and promoting the arts. She was a founder and member of several artist groups, such as Independent Artists of St. Louis, New Hats, Missourians and the St. Louis Artists’ Guild, all of which were influential in bringing to the public and educating them about the contemporary styles of the times. However, probably her most substantial contribution to the arts at the time was in 1932 when she and Aimmee Schweig founded the Ste. Genevieve Artist Colony. Some of the country’s top artists, such as Thomas Hart Benton, spent time painting and teaching at the Ste. Genevieve colony.
