Painter. Born in Hartington, Nebraska on January 17, 1913, Edgar L Ewing first studied at the Art Institute of Chicago under Boris Anisfeld. Upon graduation in 1935, he further studied and traveled in Europe. Returning to Chicago, he taught at the Art Institute for several years as well as at universities in Oregon and Michigan.
Recognized as a promising young artist, he was given an art fellowship to study in Europe, where he would come to return many times over. Ewing's travels throughout his life, through Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, promoted great artistic inspiration. He was especially intrigued by the history of Ancient Greece and would eventually paint his Roman Series, one of the artist's most important works.
Ewing fought in World War II, but upon the War's end Ewing resumed working as an artist. Offered a teaching position on the West Coast the artist began teaching at the University of Southern California, where he would remain for the majority of his career. Art schools in Los Angeles were immensely important during the mid-century. Without the extensive infrastructure of museums, galleries, collectors, and criticism that existed on the East Coast, California art schools became the primary outlets of artistic innovation and collaboration. An entire school of progressive artists worked, exhibited, and taught together at Los Angeles's various art schools including Otis Art Institute (founded in 1918), Chouinard Art Institute (founded in 1921), and Jepson Art Institute (founded in 1947). Ewing was part of this community and taught alongside the important Hungarian/American artist Francis De Erdely while at USC. Edgar Ewing's artistic achievements are prolific, he exhibited widely, and received extensive critical acclaim.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career that lasted 17-years. Beginning in 1992, she studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike...Category
