These
lithographs
were created
from a gathering
of historical
Master Paintings
from the
Metropolitan Museum
of Art,
The Louvre in Paris,
The Liechenstein
Gallery, the
Kunsthistorisches
Museum in Vienna
& Private Collections
under the
direction of
Eleanor
Roosevelt
in 1937
for the
National
Committee For
Art Appreciation.
Originally they were
stored and not sold.
In 1970, The
National Committee
Of Art Appreciation
embarked on a project
to bring these wonderful
pieces of Fine Art
to the American Public
and Public Schools
in a series of
“Lessons In Art
Appreciation”
Each of
the Series of
“Lessons In
Art Appreciation”
consisted of a mailing
envelope describing the
contents, Four beautiful
Lithographs of the
Master Painter’s
Famous Rendering, along
with an 8-page Lesson
In Art Appreciation
regarding each of the
four selected Painters.
The average size of
the Lithographs were
11” x 14”, however, some
are slightly smaller. At
the bottom of the lithos
is the name of the art
piece and the museum at
which they are displayed.
The 8-Page “Lessons” are
extremely detailed about
the historical period
of time that
each artist was
influenced by along with,
other artists who may
have also helped in
their artistic growth.
