Marianna Edna Volz Oil Painting Original Art Man Suit This art was done by my late Great Aunt, Marianna. I haveonly fond memories of going to visit her in New York, and checking out her Manhattan loft. She was a beautiful woman inside and out! I miss her, and while we hate to see her paintings leave the family, we're glad to think of them being enjoyed by art lovers! If you're interested in viewing this work in person, a private showing can be done in Cincinnati, OH by appointment only. Marianna Edna Volz was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on September 5, 1930. She was daughter of Anthony Genius Volz and Sophi Maria Albertina (Abbey) Beyer and sister to Anthony Glenn Volz, also an artist (and art teacher). After graduating Western Hills High School, she moved on to pursue her art interest at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and later, Ohio State University. While taking classes at the Art Academy, Marianna was featured in the Cincinnati Enquirer for a prize she won for a painting made in those classes. Following graduation, she moved to New York City to teach kindergarten and elementary school at several private institutions. While in New York, she met Stanley Krasner, whom she married on January 29, 1971. Marianna was a member of the Arts Students League and continued to paint in New York for the rest of her life. An impressionist painter of real life, her works were described by a Christie’s curator as being of the “Ashcan School.” Subjects of her work included figures, interior and exterior views, portraits, and still life. Primarily using oil paints on stretched canvas, several of her paintings have sold at the world famous Christie's auction house in New York, New York. Sadly, Marianna passed away at the age of 73 on March 25, 2003 in Peekskill (Cortlandt Manor), New York. Most of her paintings have remained in the family until now, with the exception of those sold at Christie’s. Her nieces fondly remember her for her zest for life, loving ways, funky jewelry and clothes. They also cherish the memories of her incredibly beautiful handwriting, and being shown around New York City, including the Museum of Modern Art, on visits from Cincinnati. She is dearly missed and her family would like nothing more than to share her art with those whom also appreciate its beauty and her exceptional skill as an artist. This painting is approximately 40" x 44", unframed, on stretched canvas. The painting may need to be cleaned, and may have minor scuffs or dings, as it has been stored for some time.
