She received a distinguished service award in art education from the Dallas Independent School District Over her lifetime. Thrash’s affiliations included a number of professional organizations and women's clubs, including the Priscilla Art Club and the Credenza Art Club. Thrash was an art teacher at B.F. Darrell Elementary School in 1935 when her watercolor, Parrots, was among the 162 works chosen from 383 entries for inclusion in the Seventh Annual Dallas Allied Arts Exhibition. It was the first work by a black artist to be shown in an integrated show. Although an important advance, its effect on the black community was limited by the fact that the show was only open to them for two hours during its four-week run, from 8:00-10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17. Thrash also showed paintings in the 1948 and 1950 exhibitions.

Provenance: Deaccession of Hearst Art Gallery, St. Mary's College, Moraga, California Carl Barth was a German visual artist who was born in 1896. Carl Barth has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Galerie Remmert und Barth. Many works by the artist have been sold at auction, including 'Mythos' sold at Ketterer Kunst Munich 'Old Masters & Modern Art/ Marine Art ' in 2003. There have been many articles about Carl Barth, including 'Getty Brings Together Over 40 Drawings Selected Solo Exhibitions 2017 Carl Barth: Works 1920 - 1970, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf Selected Group Exhibitions 2016 Overview 2016, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf 2014 Überblick 2014, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf Watercolors: Emil Nolde to Otto Dix and Beyond, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf 2011 Spirit of an Age: Drawings from the Germanic World, 1770–1900, J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, USA, Los Angeles Overview 2011, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf which included artists August Macke,Carl Barth, Conrad Felixmuller, George Grosz,Hannah Hoch, Oskar kokoschka and others CARL BARTH 1896 to 1976 The Rhine painter CARL BARTH has created a work rich in developmental stages that stretches from the 20s to the 70s of the last century. After late-Expressionist beginnings in the 20s, he created in the early 30s, probably the most-respected part of his work, those strictly built, color-sparing tempera images that are the New Objectivity and the Magic Realism assigned, Barth's paintings of the early 1930s seem to express the loneliness of man in the face of a colder and more threatening social situation. The constructivist rigor of these works is transformed in the American paintings of 1936 into a more painterly style with a richer modeling of the subject matter, without abandoning the theme: the images reflect the loneliness and emptiness of the not only American "way of life" - they became repeatedly compared to works by Edward Hopper. Select Exhibitions: 1925 First exhibition of watercolors and printmaking in Munich. Return to the Rhineland. Initially own studio in his parents' house in Haan. In the fall admission to study at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. 1926 Exhibition with the group "The New West". 1927 First study trip to southern France (via Paris and Chartres). Master student with Heinrich Nauen. 1928 First exhibition with the artist group "Das junge Rheinland" 1933 Solo exhibition in the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf. 1936 Travel to the USA at the invitation of his uncle Ferdinand Kortlücke. Origin of the series of "American" images based on motifs in New York and Long Island. 1940 Solo exhibition of the "Roman pictures" at Galerie Alex Vömel in Düsseldorf. 1948 The monograph "The Painter Carl Barth" by Hans Peters appears. Exhibition at the Kölnischer Kunstverein together with Gerhard Marcks and Peter Herkenrath. 1951 Solo exhibitions in Wuppertal, Marl and Duisburg. The Museum Münster shows the exhibition "Carl Barth - Otto Pankok...
