ed. 190/300. Milton H. Greene (1922-1985) was an American photographer best known for his photoshoots with Marilyn Monroe. He initially built a career in fashion and celebrity photography, creating work that appeared in well-known magazines such as Vogue. He earned the moniker of "Color Photography's Wonder Boy," and his 1954 photograph of Marilyn Monroe in a ballet tutu was proclaimed by Time Life to be one of the three most popular images of the 20th century.

Elizabeth Martineau, a Haitian artist born in Port-au-Prince, was shaped by an artistic milieu, raised in the home of her uncle, architect and sculptor Albert Mangones, co-founder of Haiti’s Centre d’Art. Exiled during youth, she engaged with artists like Fernando Botero in Colombia and Lois Mailou Jones in Washington, DC. Martineau’s technique involves layering paper on Arches paper or canvas, painting with acrylics, and outlining subjects in bold black, accentuated by vibrant colors and gold streaks. Her works, depicting serene figures, priestesses, and masks, evoke Caribbean and African themes. She holds degrees from the University of Medellín and Corcoran School of Art.

Otto Neumann (1895-1975) was a German expressionist painter and printmaker. Neumann made work based on the human form and his own literary interests, including Dante's Inferno, African fairy tales, and the Passion of Christ. During the Nazi regime, Neumann's work was labeled as "degenerate"; his refusal to divorce his Jewish wife, Hilde (whose family later fled the country) further hurt his prospects. After the war he still took an interest with the subjects of classical antiquity and myth, but never returned to the medium of oil or watercolor. He became depressed and reliant on medication, and eventually self-admitted to a sanitarium, but continued to work. It was only a year after Hilde's death in 1970 that he stopped producing work entirely. Many artists that were young during the later part of Neumann's career drew inspiration from and identified with his highly abstracted forms. Much of Neumann's earlier work, on the other hand, would have been destroyed by the artist himself had it not been for Hilde taking and storing them. It is thanks to her that, to this day, some of his early work is still known and regarded highly.

Herbert Barnett (1910-1972), a Rhode Island-born and highly acclaimed artist, drew from both schools of representational art and the rich tradition of the Cubists. His style is recognizable through its technical proficiency, rectangular brushstrokes, and abstracted subject matter. Works by Barnett are on display in collections across the nation, including the Cincinnati Art Museum and the National Collection of Fine Arts in Washington, D.C.

Charley Harper (1922–2007) was an American artist and illustrator known for his colorful, minimalist depictions of birds, animals, and nature. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Harper developed a distinctive style he called “minimal realism,” using simple geometric shapes, bold colors, and clean lines to capture the essence of wildlife. His work became especially influential in modern nature illustration and conservation art.

Donald Baechler (1956-2022), a New York-based painter and sculptor, made work that largely dealt in childlike themes. He repeatedly drifted towards subjects like balls, blocks, figures, and flowers, and his work was noted to be playful, sunny, and animated - vivid colors, nostalgic imagery, and expressive figures drawing in audiences both young and old. His work is a part of several museum collections, including the MoMA, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Guggenheim.

Edition of 11/25. Sandy Skoglund (b. 1946) has a style of photography that is characterized by "[embracing] blatant artificiality," delightful compositions that intentionally repeat patterns and capture viewers with an emphasis on a particular color, and a focus on the subjects of food and animals. She is particularly interested in combining the aesthetics of corporate advertising with the fine art world, expanding on both traditions with a playful exuberance and strong conceptual core.
