- Maxine_Albro abstract "Maxine Albro (January 20, 1903 Ayrshire, Iowa – July 19, 1966 Los Angeles) was an American painter, muralist, lithographer, mosaic artist, and sculptor. She was one of America's leading female artists, and one of the few women commissioned under the New Deal's Federal Art Project, a program launched during the Great Depression that also employed the likes of Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, among others who would go on to become famous and whose paintings would become lucrative pieces of art.Albro's works can be found in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, National Museum of the American Indian, San Francisco's Coit Tower, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Allied Arts Guild, and in various galleries and private collections. Albro was strongly influenced by Diego Rivera in Mexico, and she is most recognized for her frescos and her characteristic treatment of Mexican and Spanish subject matter. "Watching Diego [paint] was very beneficial to me," she said.The influence of Mexican art is visible throughout her paintings, murals and lithographs. In an interview two years before her death, Albro said: I was so influenced by what I had seen in Mexico. ... There is nothing I loved more than painting the Virgin of Guadalupe.Like Rivera, Albro was no stranger to controversy. A work of four nudes that she painted at the Ebell Women's Club in Los Angeles, titled Portly Roman Sybils, offended the organization's members. The club rescinded approval of her frescoes, and destroyed the wall on which it was painted in 1935. Also destroyed was her mosaic of animals over the entrance to Anderson Hall at the University of California Extension in San Francisco. Outside of artwork commissioned for public buildings, Albro painted frescoes for many private homes.Albro became a leader in the California muralist movement and was one of the first women to achieve such a prominent position. Her work was also highlighted by numerous paintings and lithographs, which are becoming rare and valuable collection pieces. Although she specialized in Spanish and Mexican motifs, she also painted landscapes and street scenes that were inspired by her world travels.The famed photographer Imogen Cunningham took a hauntingly intimate portrait of a shrouded Albro in 1931, adding her to a collection of notable painters that he photographed, which included Frida Kahlo, Miguel Covarrubias, and Lyonel Feininger.".
