ABOUT THE ARTIST
Pamela Bianco (1906-1924) was born in London the daughter of an Italian scholar and bookseller, Francesco Bianco, and an English writer, Margery Williams Bianco (author of 'The Velveteen Rabbit'). She was educated at home, though home for the Biancos was a shifting location, as the family lived in France, Italy, and the United States when Pamela was a child.
Bianco's paintings and drawings were first exhibited as part of a children's show in Turin, Italy. Her career as an artist began at the age of twelve when her exhibition at Leicester Galleries, London, brought the child prodigy to international recognition. Following the show, Walter de la Mare composed a series of poems entitled 'Flora' to accompany a suite of her drawings. The immediate success of Bianco's first American exhibition, arranged by Mitchell Kennedy in 1922 at Anderson Galleries, prompted her to move to New York with her parents. She printed her first lithographs with master printer George Miller in 1922, and was a member of the Studio Club from 1924 - 1928.
Her early exhibitions in the U.S. included shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco in 1922; Boston and Chicago in 1923; and in New York at Kennedy Galleries in 1924, Rehn Galleries in 1928, and Firargid Galleries in 1937. Her rich, graphically bold etchings of flowers and still life subjects continued to bring her popular acclaim.
Bianco also created illustrations for William Blake's Poems and Oscar Wilde's 'Birthday of the Infanta', a historical fiction for children. Other books illustrated by Bianco include Glenway Wescott's 'Natives of Rock' (1925), and Hazeltine and Smith's 'The Easter Book of Legends and Stories' (1947). She also illustrated several books by her mother, including 'The Skin Horse', 'The Adventures of Andy', and 'The Little Wooden Doll'.
In 1930, Bianco was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and spent a year in Florence and Rome during which she wrote and illustrated the children's fairy tale 'The Starlit Journey'.
A retrospective exhibition of Pamela Bianco's works was mounted in 2004 in London at England & Co Gallery and an exhibition catalogue published.
Works by Pamela Bianco are in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Binghamton University Art Museum, British Museum (London), Brooklyn Museum, Carnegie Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, National Gallery of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

- "Victoria" original lithograph signed by Malvin Marr "Zsissly" AlbrightBy Malvin Marr AlbrightLocated in Milwaukee, WIThe present print, "Victoria," is the most iconic example of the printmaking of Malvin Marr Albright, called Zsissly. The composition for the image comes from Albright's painting from about 1935, done while he was studying at the Art Institute of Chicago. We can see clearly in the image how he possesses the same skill for unsettling, magic realist images as his more famous twin brother Ivan Le Lorraine: The lady Victoria sits at a dining room table, surrounded by luxurious still-life objects. All the textures and surfaces of the image express a horror vacui as seen in his painted works, such as "The Trail of Time is Dust" at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. The door in this print recalls one of the more famous works by his brother, "That Which I Should Have Done I Did Not Do (The Door)" at the Art Institute of Chicago. 1947, after ca. 1935 original painting 8 1/2 x 13 inches, image 12 x 16 inches, sheet 16 1/4 x 20 1/2 frame Signed in pencil, lower right Title in pencil, lower left Published by Associated American Artists Inc.
