Ida Rittenberg Kohlmeyer (American/New Orleans)
Ida Rittenberg Kohlmeyer (American/New Orleans, 1912-1997) , "Untitled (Abstract Composition)", oil on masonite, signed lower right, 42 in. x 48 in., framed. Note: This significant Ida Kohlmeyer painting is remarkable for having been painted most likely just before Kohlmeyer met and studied with Hans Hoffman in 1956, making it one of her earliest ventures into abstraction. The neutral palette and expressionistic brushstrokes act as a precursor to her later explorations in color blocks and formations as influenced by her friend and mentor, Mark Rothko, and also demonstrate an artistic kinship to her sister and fellow beloved artist, Mildred Wohl, whose works often explored a similar color palette and aesthetic.
