Barbara Morgan Roberts (1930-2016)

City Market

Third quarter of the 20th century.

The work of realism depicting a typical day at Kansas City's River Market area is signed lower right front.

Born in New Jersey, Barbara Roberts grew up in Kansas City and, following graduation, attended the Parsons School of Design where she earned a degree that served her well during her early years as a fashion design illustrator for the Kansas City firms of Woolf Brothers, Kline's, Harzfeld's and Hallmark. Following her marriage in 1953, Barbara settled into a career as an accomplished studio painter. The decades that followed saw her work included in over 60 juried exhibitions and acquired by many private and corporate collections around the Midwest.

This work is a fine example of the realism style of painting popular in the 1970s.

Image measures 10.75 x 18.25 with a framed size of 24.5 x 31.75 inches.

Provenance: The Robert W. Steinbach Trust and Steinbach Family Collection, Kansas City, Missouri.
