| Mary Hallett Gronemeyer studied art at Columbia University and the Pratt
Institute (NY). She exhibited throughout the 1910s-1960s creating landscapes
with a modernist aesthetic in oil and watercolor and also working as an
illustrator. She and her husband, artist Phillip Gronemeyer, both worked
and exhibited in St. Louis. Missouri Landscape is typical of Gronemeyer’s rural scenes, where color is more expressive than descriptive, and where forms – both natural and man-made – are reduced to their basic elements whose color is contained by bold, sinuous, black lines. |
