Alma Sewing, ca. 1935
Title: Alma Sewing, ca. 1935
Artist: Francis Criss (1901-1973)

Francis Criss was critically acclaimed for his distinctive blend of realism and abstraction. Alma Sewing is his most ambitious and striking work. In its celebration of the artist as a worker, the painting is a quintessential 1930s expression, but it also makes a personal statement: a self-portrait appears in the lower half of the seamstress’s lamp. While Alma may be viewed as the artist’s model, Criss thoughtfully presents her as a skilled professional surrounded by the tools of her trade. (High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia, USA)
