Item History & Price
Louise Lemp Pabst (1909-77) was born into the noted Lemp Brewing family of St. Louis, and eventually married into the famous Pabst family of Milwaukee. Throughout her life she was an artist, having lived and studied in Paris, and in her mature style created numerous quality portraits of personages, largely from the Milwaukee area. She became the portrait artist of the area's high society, usually painting women in oil, creating many sketches as studies and in preparation fo...r her work. In addition to the adult women, she created numerous lovely portraits of children, and other decorative subjects. Louise Lemp and her family lived in Paris beginning around 1927, and the left just prior to the outbreak of war in 1939. Louise studied art in France, even exhibiting at the 1937 Paris Exhibition of Arts. In 1935 she received the Silver Medal called the Medaille D'Argent, which is believed to be the first time a woman won such a prize. I have personally handled a number of her works and have been provided with a small number of her drawings to offer here on Ebay. Check out my other current listings for a few more items.
This charcoal sketch of a costume and female subject reveals her technique in creating the many portraits of women that she painted over the years. It again reveals her skill at capturing, in a classic academic manner and a delicate and sensitive hand, elements of the female figure. This study shows a confident stroke, bolder than when she used colored & graphite pencils. This would make a fascinating interesting framed work, allowing the view to see how she created her mature portraits. The full paper measures 23" x 16 1/2".
