Ora Moss Reams (American/Louisiana, 1891-1988) , "University Night, Tulane Stadium", 1913, pen and ink on paper, signed and dated center, 13 1/8 in. x 8 1/2 in., framed, overall 20 5/8 in. x 16 1/4 in. x 1 in. Note: Ora Moss Reams was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana and attended Newcomb College in the early 1910s. Many beautiful examples of her pottery exist, however, as is evidenced from this work done in her graduation year of 1913, she was an excellent draughtswoman as well. Reams registered as a graduate art student at Newcomb immediately following graduation, however she married John Stanley Scott in 1914, had two children and never returned to the school. Reams was widowed just four years after her marriage and subsequently lived with her mother in Lake Charles to raise her children. In the 1930 census, she is listed as an artist working from home.
