About the Item
A striking 1940s Modern cubist still life drawing by Notable Chicago and Michigan artist Stanley Bielecky. Image size: 4 x 5 inches. Archivally matted to 13 1/4 x 16 inches. Estate stamped and numbered 58, lower left.
Stanley Bielecky was an Indiana artist who painted the American Scene, from the industrial factories and workers around East Chicago to the pastoral settings of Mackinac Island. Born in Germany, Bielecky moved at a young age with his family first to Pennsylvania and then to the east side of Chicago (Illinois). Although his parents could not afford formal art training, Bielecky’s early works won competitions and scholarships and he started to attend weekend classes at the Art Institute of Chicago. Later, he attended the Minneapolis Institute of Art between 1930 and 1934, where he won the Edward M. Johnson scholarship. After graduation, Bielecky returned to the Art Institute of Chicago, where he attended additional classes until 1937. In 1938, he won a Tiffany Foundation Fellowship. In 1935, Bielecky was honored with a solo exhibition at the Hoosier Salon Gallery. Despite his artistic success, like many artists, Bielecky struggled financially during the Great Depression and often worked odd jobs in addition to taking on commercial art projects which helped keep him afloat. Bielecky also obtained a teaching position as an art instructor at the Calumet Center of Indiana University in East Chicago (Indiana). He later taught at Valparaiso University in 1941 and again after World War II. During the war, Bielecky worked as a camouflage artist in the European Theater. Bielecky continued to teach painting at Valparaiso University through 1957, while maintaining a private studio in East Chicago (Indiana) until 1970 when ill health forced his retirement. Beginning in the late 1930s, Bielecky’s works were accepted into juried exhibitions across the country, including at the Detroit Art Institute, the San Francisco Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Albright-Knox Gallery and the Toledo Museum of Art. He won several prizes along the way, including the Marjorie Beth Maxon Prize at the Detroit Institute of Art. Cincinnati Art Galleries honored Bielecky with a solo retrospective in 1988, where Faces was exhibited.
