Sarah Greer Mecklem

From this article:

the daughters of the late Woodstock artist Marianne Appel, who designed the Woodstock Village Green and its war memorial in 1946, are hosting an exhibit of Appel’s work on weekends through October 25, 2015. The show has been hung in the studio of Sarah Greer Mecklem at 30 Plochmann Lane in Woodstock, NY. Appel is among the painters featured in the current exhibit at the Woodstock School of Art: “Overlooked: Woodstock Women Artists.” The exhibit recognizes a group of artists who, despite their prodigious abilities, received less attention during their lifetimes than their male Woodstock counterparts. Appel was expressive in many genres and mediums. She created fantastic puppets of paper mache and painted murals and colorful landscapes and interior scenes; her expression was notably optimistic. The show is open weekends from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Or by appointment. Some works are available for purchase. For further information, call 845-679-6157.  Buster Seven Talk 23:28, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Anne Poor

User:Buster7/Anne Poor Under Construction

[Her Obit in NYT

Anne Poor, an American artist who painted combat scenes in World War II and later concentrated on dreamlike landscapes, died in Nyack, N.Y., on Jan. 12. She was 84 and lived in Haverstraw, N.Y.

A native of New York City, Ms. Poor studied at the Art Students League while in high school. In the 1930's she helped her stepfather, the artist Henry Varnum Poor, paint murals for the United States Justice Department and the Department of the Interior in Washington. While in the Women's Army Corps in 1943 she gained attention for her depictions of military life, including air evacuation of the wounded in the Pacific. The paintings were exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

Among her later landscapes was a series done for a 1964 book, Greece, with a text by Henry Miller. A critically praised New York solo show at Terry Dintenfass in 1992 included paintings of family, friends and pets, living and dead, surrounded by glowing flowers, all done in a distinctive, luminous style. An exhibition of works on paper appeared at the Edward Hopper House Art Center in Nyack last summer.

Ms. Poor taught at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture from 1947 to 1961 and was on the board of trustees from 1963 to '83. She was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the National Academy of Design. Her work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Brooklyn Museum of Art.

She is survived by her brother, Peter Poor, of Manhattan, two nieces and a nephew.

Members of the NY artistic community gathered at a party for artist Anna Poor at J.G. Con-temporary.... This must be the grandaughter 'cause HV Poor is mentioned as her Grandfather. Peter Varnum Poor is mentioned as her father...as well as artist Sarah McPherson, who is Ms. Poor's grand-aunt

The wonderful thing in such a family of artists... is that rather than hiring models, they can pose for each other. Of those human subjects posing in Poor's oil on canvas compositions are artist Anne Poor (1918-2002), the adopted step-daughter of Henry Varnum Poor and for many years represented at Graham-Modern. A memorial was held for Anne Poor last winter at the National Academy of Design.

After the war ended, Taylor returned and they had two children, but Snedeker found little time to return to her art. Her last dated painting, a child's portrait, dated in 1949, was not up to her standards because of the interruptions to her work.

[114] Snedeker's daughter J.D. Taylor was a musician and activist in San Francisco.

• Greer, South Carolina, Cotton and Peach Growing, 1939 (Mural mentioned in town article....B7)

• Mural description as follows:

The Greer Post Office, constructed in 1935, is architecturally significant as an excellent example of a New Deal-era Colonial Revival post office produced by the Public Works Branch of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Architect Donald G. Anderson of New York City designed the Greer Post Office under the administration of Louis A. Simon, Supervising Architect of the Department of the Treasury. The Greer Post Office reflects the designs favored by the Treasury Department at the time, exhibiting a restrained Colonial Revival style with minimal ornamentation. The new post offices in South Carolina built during this era reflect the “dignity” and “economy” observed in new public buildings by Treasury Secretary Henry Morganthau, Jr. The post office is also significant because it includes a mural by artist Winfield R. Walkley, Cotton and Peach Growing, depicting African-Americans harvesting cotton and peaches from area fields and orchards, two crops that were plentiful in and around Greer. It is one of thirteen murals commissioned by the Section of Fine Arts of the U.S. Department of the Treasury during 1938-1941 for South Carolina post offices and federal buildings. The building served as a post office until 1964, when a new, larger post office was dedicated, then functioned as Greer City Hall from 1968 to 2008, and currently serves as the Greer Heritage Museum. Listed in the National Register January 31, 2011.
