A woman's figure is depicted in oil paint.
The artist, James C. Kulhanek, was a painter based in Cleveland, Ohio. The year of its creation, 1947, was just after the end of World War II, a period when the art scene in Ohio was undergoing a transition. At that time, he was building his career as a staff artist for the local newspaper, 'The Plain Dealer'. Many of his oil paintings have been carefully preserved not in public museums, but by his son, James F. Kulhanek. Please take a moment to quietly contemplate this figure of a woman, which he created on canvas while making a living in the world of commercial art.
