ROSE PIPER (1917 - 2005) Mostly Dark Things.
Pencil on paper, 1982. 460x610 mm; 18x24 inches. Signed and dated in pencil, lower left.
In 1952, financial and family pressures forced Piper to work as a designer in the garment industry. When she returned to painting full time in 1980, her work was again exhibited nationally and has been included in several touring museum exhibitions. One of her 1940s paintings is the cover illustration for the catalogue for the current Spertus Museum exhibition A Force for Change African American Art and the Julius Rosenwald Foundation.
