The art of Ruth Grotenrath

September 14, 2006

Like her husband Schomer Lichtner, Ruth Grotenrath was a well known Wisconsin artist who began as a WPA muralist, painting in the regionalist style. However, her art then took a turn to the more abstract -- due to her interest in Japanese art and the paintings of Matisse and Van Gogh -- and more colorful.
