WALD, Sylvia, (American, 1914): Family grouping, silk screen, sight size 15 1/2'' x 11 1/4'', signed in the plate lower left and dated 43, encased in bland original frame with staining and foxing to the mat, 24'' x 19''. Wald exhibited at New York City's ACA Gallery. She won their national competition in painting and sculpture in 1939. The prize and subsequent successful exhibition led to even greater success with the artist exhibiting in the 1940's at such prestigious institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia Museum of Art. The World War II years saw Wald in Louisville, Kentucky with her husband, Alter Weiss, a physician assigned to Nichols General Hospital, then an army hospital. She learned the silk-screen process in one day by observing artist Harry Gottlieb, and continued to make prints during her four-year stay in Kentucky.
