Description
n most of Nora's work, she combines realism and fantasy. Here, the viewer's position is the back of a theater. In front, there are four raised hands, cheering a monumental image of a sleeping wrapped infant resting on a crescent moon and surrounded by two stars. The infant is floating above the seats and centered in the middle theater curtain that has opened to a celestial sky. The image is quite stunning and may be influenced by Surrealist trends of the unconscious mind that were taking place in Europe. In the early '20s, she lived in Paris and was included in the prestigious Salon d’Automne.
This work was done in 1928 when where was back in New York and reflects the trends of Art Deco and Surrealism that she was exposed to. Nora Woodson Ulreich was a professional Nura, an American artist, muralist, children's book author, and illustrator who embraced of modernist trends. She was a multidisciplinary artist who specialized in lithography. Ulreich's work is included in the permanent collections of the San Diego Museum of Art, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. The Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Walker Art Center, and The David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University. The work is framed under glass and pencil, signed and dated lower right. We can not find another print like this, and this may be a monotype or a unique print since it does not have an edition indicated. Framed dimensions: 17.5 x 14.5
