Lot description

DORIS ROSENTHAL (1895-1971) Summer Breezes No. 1 (Sleeper) . Lithograph. 345x250 mm; 13 5/8x9 7/8 inches, full margins. Signed, titled, numbered 10/40 and inscribed "#1" in pencil, lower margin. 1930. A very good impression. Rosenthal, native to California, studied painting while travelling extensively during the 1920s. Her graphic print portfolios took inspiration from a range of experiences--from scenes of new industry to museum artifacts she encountered. After winning two Guggenheim fellowships in the 1930s, she travelled to Mexico and became well-known and widely respected as a regionalist painter, eventually settling in Oaxaca permanently. She exhibited alongside Marguerite Zorach (1887-1968) at the 1933 Chicago Worlds' Fair.
