Lillian Florsheim

2D Works

Lillian started her work in the arts in the late 1940s, studying first landscape painting eiyhhenry Hensche in Provincetown, MA for a few summers, before working with George Buehr at the Art Institute of Chicago and Richard Weisenborn as she shifted to more abstract work. In the early 1950s, she then went to study sculpture with Hugo Weber at the Institute of Design, recognizing in her own words that she “had more interest in form than in color.”

The bulk of the two dimensional work was done between the late 1940s and the early 1950s, although the works are largely undated.
