Description
Minnie Reinhardt (NC, 1898-1986), Owl on a Branch
oil on canvas board, signed lower left, presented in a barnwood frame.
Frame 15 1/4 x 12 1/4 in.
Minnie Reinhardt grew up in the rural farming community of Vale, North Carolina. At "about" the age of 18, she started work as a cook for Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory. For the next several decades she raised her family and worked as a pattern maker and seamstress for the community. After cataract surgery in 1974, the sudden experience of seeing colors and details clearly inspired Minnie to start painting.
Dubbed "the Grandma Moses of Catawba County," Minnie's charming folk art paintings depict memories of her life growing up in western North Carolina. In 1996 the Hickory Museum of Art hosted a solo exhibition of over 100 paintings by Minnie.
