Painting & frame remain in excellent condition. Artist Bio: Hilda Rubin--aka Hilda Rubin Pierce (American, born in Austria in 1922). Hilda Rubin is an American artist of Austrian-Jewish descent. She studied art briefly in Austria with Oskar Kokoschka (her work "found favor with him") before having to leave the country for England in 1938--as Hitler took over the country--and eventually for the United States. She settled in Chicago where she married Mr. Rubin, studied at the AIC and became known as a "...young Chicago artist of great promise." (Hilda Rubin did return to Austria in the early sixties to resume studies with Kokoschka). She and her husband were great travelers (Europe, Central and South America, but also North Africa, Ceylon, and India where the inspiration for the painting offered on our site originates). She exhibited at the Art Institute and taught art in the Chicago area for years. She is still living in San Diego, California. One of her articles was featured in American Artist, Jan. 1965 Issue. She is also the author of "Hilda: a True Story of Terror, Tears, and Triumph".
