10 3/8" by 13 1/2". Janet Elizabeth Turner (1914 - 1988) was active/lived in California, Kansas. Janet Turner is known for Figure, genre, and landscape painter, printmaking. Janet Elizabeth Turner, primarily known as a graphic artist of Western subjects, though painting, as well, was born on April 7, 1914, in Kansas City, Missouri, growing up there. Her art studies got off to an uncertain start, when initially she studied biology at Stanford, changing her major to Far Eastern history when the University dropped the biology program in her junior year. Then she took some drawing courses in her senior year, graduating in 1936. Her real art education began when she studied painting with Regionalist artist Thomas Hart Benton from 1937-1941 at the Kansas City Art Institute. She also studied printmaking there with John DeMartelly. Her studies later continued at the Claremont Graduate School, California, with Henry McFee and Millard Sheets, resulting in her M.F.A. degree in 1947. She also studied silkscreen with Edward Landon. In 1952, Turner attended summer school at Columbia University Teachers College, receiving her Ph.D. in education in 1960, following additional study from 1956-1958. Once her art education finally got under way, it was clearly extensive. Turner's subjects included rural and small town settings in Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, and Texas and, after 1959, a strong emphasis on Western wildlife. Some works include Goats in Pinon Canyon; New Mexico Dwellings; Immature Golden Eagle; White Leghorns; Bulldogging Stock; Guinea Fowl, Among the Tule; and Dead Snow Goose. Turner taught at Girls Collegiate School, Claremont (1942-1947); Stephen F. Austin State College, Nacogdoches, TX (1947-1956); then, in 1959, California State University at Chico, continuing there until her retirement in 1983. She was named an "Outstanding Professor" in the California State University system in 1975. Jane Turner's work may be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania; Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio; San Francisco Museum of Art, California; Benzalei National Museum, Jerusalem; Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Society of Wildlife Art of the Nations, Gloucester, England; Portland Museum of Art, Oregon; William Rockhill Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri; Dallas Museum of Art, Texas; and the National Museum of American Art and the Smithsonian Institution, both in Washington, DC. Turner first exhibited her work around 1937 in Kansas City as a student at the Art Institute. That started the ball rolling in a career that saw ultra-numerous exhibitions, including two hundred one-person shows of prints and paintings in forty of the United States, and in twenty-three cities in Japan and Israel. She would show her work in every state in the Union, and in fifty countries on six continents, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art's American Painting Today, in 1950, and their Watercolors and Prints, in 1952; the New York World's Fair, 1964-1965; print annuals and biennials at the National Academy of Design, New York City; American Color Print Society; Brooklyn Museum; Print Club of Philadelphia, and Society of American Graphic Artists. Janet Elizabeth Turner died June 27, 1988, in Chico, California.
