Description
Grace Luse (active mid-20th century)
Cleveland WPA statue of Abraham Lincoln and family
Cleveland, Ohio, circa 1935
high glazed ceramic
painted artist's name on plinth, incised #17 inside
5 3/4"w x 4 1/4"d x 10 1/2"h
Catalog Note:
Luse was a student and later an assistant of Edris Eckhardt (1905-1998), another Cleveland artist well known for producing WPA figures based on classic stories or historical events. Often these charming figures were given to Cleveland area schools as teaching aids. In this figural grouping, Luse has given Lincoln’s brown hair a decidedly reddish tint.
