Dorr Bothwell, California Surrealist, Serigraph Titled "Ideograph"

About the Item

California modernist Dorr Bothwell (1902-2000) original serigraph. Signed in pencil lower right and dated 1946. Edition size is also seen in pencil lower right: 8 of 35. Pencil titled lower left: "Ideograph" Framed under glass and in excellent condition. Measures: Image: 9 x 12. Frame: 16.5 x 19. Dorris Hodgson Bothwell, known as Dorr, was born in San Francisco, 1902. The Bothwell family moved to San Diego in 1911, where they became friends and neighbors with the artists Anna and Albert Valentien. Dorr began her art studies with Anna in 1916 at the age of 14. In the early 1920s, Dorr returned to San Francisco to study at the California School of Fine Arts, then studied at the University of Oregon, in Eugene, and the Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design, which was founded in San Francisco, 1926. Returning to San Diego in 1931, Dorr became involved, once more, with the San Diego art Community and exhibited with the San Diego Moderns. In 1934, Dorr was in Los Angeles; there she joined the postsurrealist circle of Lorser Feitelson and Helen Lundeberg, finding some parallels between their post-surrealist concepts and her own work. She attended classes conducted by Feitelson as part of the Public Works of Art Project (1933-1934) and eventually joined the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project as a painter in the mural division. She produced several murals for the WPA. In the 1940s and 1950s she taught at the California School of Fine Arts, San Francisco.
