Watercolor painting of flowers by Eloisa Schwab. Signed. Will ship flat. This painting measures 20 x 15. Crease on the bottom right corner.
Born in Havana, Cuba, painter Eloisa Schwab (1894-1990) was a rising star of the New York art scene in the 19-teens and 1920s, exhibiting extensively at major galleries like the Whitney Studio Club, a precursor to the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Schwab studied at the Academy Julian in Paris and the Art Students League in New York with George Bridgman and Kenneth Hayes Miller. She was known for her early paintings of flowers and still lifes, and a 1924 New York Evening Post article touts “Miss Schwab varies between a tight incisiveness, such as her bird cages, and a free generalization that is shown in her groups of figures. “In the Workshop” she attains animation and veracity.”
