Elsa H M Lundborg
Artists and Models, 1968
oil painting
20 x 16 in
Signature: titled on lower left; numbered 23/25 on lower center; signed on lower right

Lundborg’s Artists and Models reflects her absorption of the techniques of Cubism and Futurism while at the Art Students League in New York in the 1930s. This painting was painted after the artist moved to South Carolina from a drawing executed during her studies at the League. The subject matter, a life-drawing class, is rendered with the planer geometry of early 20th century art.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
