Artist: Leroy Flint (d. 1990)
Although best known for his post 1945 modernist paintings, Leroy Flint’s humorous and satirical prints of everyday life during the Depression rank among his finest work. He was born and raised in Ashtabula, Ohio. Paying for his education through scholarships and odd jobs, he attended the Cleveland School of Art 1932-36. After graduation, he worked for the WPS Works Progress Administration on the graphic arts, murals, and adult education projects.
carta owns a large collection of artwork by Cleveland area artists, both for adults and children, and purchases about $25,000 of new art annually. We further our mission by donating annual scholarships to Cleveland Institute of Art students and provide educational activities to enhance awareness of area artists.
